DRAFT <br />20 <br />22 <br />Internal Target 3: Minimize use of treated water for non-potable functions <br />24 <br />W-IT3S1: Use non-drinking <br />water systems to meet <br />residential, industrial, and <br />agricultural needs when <br />feasible. <br />3 <br />The City uses the raw water it can through water rights, as well as re-use <br />water, to irrigate the golf course, the sports complex, Community Park, etc. <br />This is because these locations lie along current pipelines designated for reuse <br />water. There has been discussion and some planning for expanding the use of <br />re-use water system to other areas such as Heritage Park and Miners Park but <br />this would involve a large infrastructure build-out. <br />Continue to watch for <br />opportunities to use non-potable <br />water to meet needs when <br />feasible. <br />Internal Target 4: Improve and maintain water quality <br />25 <br />W-IT4S1: Continue to update <br />equipment and procedure <br />manuals related to water <br />use, wastewater and storm <br />water treatment and <br />incorporate methods to <br />promote sustainability & limit <br />environmental impacts. <br />3 <br />The Wastewater treatment plant has been fully replaced and procedures <br />streamlined. Updating equipment and procedures in general is an ongoing <br />process in response to noted inefficiencies, as audits are regularly performed. <br />Continue to update equipment and <br />procedures to promote <br />sustainability & limit <br />environmental impacts. <br />26 <br />W-IT4S2: Aim to have Coal <br />Creek removed from State's <br />list of impaired or polluted <br />waters. <br />1 <br />It is believed that most of the pollution in the creek is caused from <br />agricultural/raw water runoff. The desire and plan to remove Coal Creek from <br />the State's list of impaired or polluted waters should therefore be included in a <br />Stormwater Master Plan. <br />Add the desire and plan to remove <br />Coal Creek from the list of polluted <br />waters to the future Stormwater <br />Master Plan. <br />External Target 1: Expand water conservation education for City residents and businesses <br />27 <br />W-ET1S1: Conduct a gap <br />analysis of the water <br />efficiency tools, resources <br />and incentives for residents <br />and businesses. <br />1 <br />While a number of resources exist on the City's website, a gap analysis could <br />be developed to better identify gaps to help inform outreach initiatives. <br />Conduct a gap analysis for <br />community resources for water <br />efficiency tools, to be maintained <br />annually to identify gaps and <br />inform outreach initiatives. <br />28 <br />W-ET1S2: Promote and <br />continue to use local water <br />quality programs including: <br />Keep it Clean; Boulder Area <br />Sustainability Information <br />Network (BASIN); PACE; <br />Center for ReSource <br />4 <br />The City and LSAB have worked together to ensure that relevant programs that <br />promote water conservation and water quality are promoted via the City's <br />website. Water bill inserts are another great method of outreach to the <br />community and should continue to be used to offer resources to water <br />customers. <br />Continue to promote local water <br />conservation and water quality <br />programs (e.g. Keep It Clean <br />Partnership, Center for Resource <br />Conservation) to Louisville <br />residents and businesses on the <br />City's website, via community <br />DRAFT <br />20 <br />22 <br />
