Title:	Prescott's Water Conservation Incentive Program
Source:	City Of Prescott
Date:	April 7, 2006

In September 2004, Mayor Simmons appointed the Water Conservation Committee (WCC) and charged it with making recommendations to Council for amending the Water Conservation Code, including incentive programs, educational programs, water-wise landscaping for new development, water rate structures, voluntary and mandatory restrictions on water use, and penalties and enforcement of Code provisions.

Focusing on the following Goal, Objective and Strategies, the WCC has been meeting regularly, in addition to numerous other meetings by subcommittees, concentrating on research and collection of data.

Goal: To promote water conservation by all users and providers in the City of Prescott Water Service Area

Objective: Reduce the total annual water consumption with emphasis on reduction in summertime peak water usage

Strategies:
    > Extensive water conservation education and publicity (awareness)
    > Revised and expanded voluntary incentive programs (rebates)
    > Revised and expanded water conservation regulations and enforcement
    > New structured water rates (conservation-oriented tiered rate structure

As a result of these efforts, Ordinance 4527 went into effect on March 30, 2006 allowing residents to get credit for water conservation stewardship. See the chart below for individual credit descriptions.
