Evaluating Water Conservation Workshop

Join the Georgia Environmental Protection Division on May 9 in Atlanta or May 11 in Brunswick to discuss new state conservation requirements and assistance programs and learn the benefits of using conservation planning and tracking tools.

Georgia water providers face new conservation and efficiency requirements, so investing in cost effective programs is of critical importance.  Experts from the Alliance for Water Efficiency (www.a4we.org) will walk participants through the basics of conservation planning using a utility‐specific tracking tool that can help identify effective programs and track impacts on your water use, system/community revenues, and customer bills.  AWE will utilize Georgia case studies to demonstrate the benefits and challenges of applying this model to systems throughout our state.

• Compare alternative conservation measures in terms of their water savings potential, impact on system costs, and potential benefits to utility customers.
• Develop long‐range conservation plans. Construct conservation portfolios containing up to 50 separate conservation program activities.
• Track the implementation, water savings, costs and benefits of actual conservation activities over time.
• Evaluate a utility’s changing revenue requirement with conservation
