Louisville's Monthly Water <br />Consumption <br />• 2011 <br />• 2012 <br />The state of Colorado has a state level water conservation grant program31. Eligible <br />participants, including local governments, are granted funding for developing and implementing <br />water conservation goals outlined in a water conservation plan and educating the public about <br />water conservation. Reducing water demand is one of the primary drought responses indicated in <br />Louisville's Drought Management Plan32. Table 1 of the plan outlines measures taken during <br />times of drought to reduce demand, broken down by severity of drought. Determining which of <br />these measures are most impactful (i.e. gain high levels of participation, yield the greatest overall <br />reduction, etc.) in reducing water demand will reveal critical information for designing and <br />implementing future water conservation efforts. Energy and emissions savings from water <br />conservation are approximately 1,600 kWh /million gallons and 9.31 therms/ million gallons, and <br />1.34 mt -0O2e / million gallons respectively. <br />Food Survey & Education Program <br />As described in section 5.2, a food survey would be useful to gain information on how <br />people consume food, which would better inform Louisville's future inventories compared to the <br />scaled data that had to be used in this baseline inventory. As noted in section 5.2, approximately <br />11% of GHG emissions embedded in food are from transportation between farms, <br />30 <br />32 <br />
