<br />6.lð~-f <br /> <br />Status: This recommendation has not yet been implemented. <br /> <br />Work Plan Next Steps: In May 2005 the City Council awarded a $2.2 million, full-service direct <br />install contract for replacement of 10,050 residential and commercial toilets between June 2005 <br />and June 2008. The City anticipates replacing 250 commercial toilets in the first year of the <br />contract, with the potential to replace up to a total of 500 toilets over the life of the program. The <br />estimated water savings for each toilet is 25 gallons per day, resulting in a potential potable <br />water reduction of 5 to 10 af/yr (assuming 5 days per week occupancy of commercial buildings). <br /> <br /> <br />A High-Efficiency Toilet in Basic White <br /> <br />2.2.3 <br /> <br />OPM #3: Promote Conservation <br /> <br />Recommendation: The Task Force recommended several specific conservation promotion <br />activities: <br /> <br />. Create a new section on the City website that focuses on conservation activities. <br />. Consider implementing a hotline that would provide conservation information. <br />. Consider water use efficiency as criteria for home beautification or business renovation <br />awards. <br />. Encourage participants in rebate programs to consider additional conservation opportunities. <br /> <br />Status: The City's website has been improved to provide clear information on all City-sponsored <br />conservation programs. The link to the conservation site has been promoted in the Utility <br />Newsletter regularly. <br /> <br />The City has implemented a water conservation hotline and created four new, full-time positions <br />dedicated 100% to conservation. The hotline phone number is (650) 780-7436. <br /> <br />The City's Mayor Beautification Award Program has created a category for the Best Drought <br />Tolerant Landscaping as a way to recognize water conservation efforts by individuals and <br />businesses. <br /> <br />The City promotes all conservation programs in the periodic Utility Newsletter. Participants in <br />particular conservation programs are made aware of all the programs the City offers. <br /> <br />Redwood City Recycled Water Project <br /> <br />Progress Report 2005 <br /> <br />Redwood City Recycled Water Task Force Recommendations - Final Report <br />p:\pW- )foj\2004\0468025 rwc recycled relrofit & support svc\task 11 program support\task force status report\final repor!\progre.. report on tl reoommendations_final.doc <br /> <br />Page 16 <br />
