Project Description, Objectives ancl Benefits: AIso see Additional Project Information section. The objective of the project is to conserve water by reducing wasteful and unreasonable uses of water. This will be accomplished by early leak detection as well as detection and customer notification of violations of the District's watering restrictions. An added benefit is to reduce the per capita withdrawl from the Upper Floridan Aquifer thereby improving water supply Third, Natural Systems and Water Quality in the Indian River Lagoon should improve due to reduced runoff from irrigation. b. Purpose and goals of the project: AIso see Additional Project Information section The purpose of the project is to conserve water through early leak detection and reduction of wasteful and unreasonable use of potable water for irrigation. The goals are to reduce IRCDUS' withdrawl from the Upper Floridan Aquifer, reduce phosphorus and nitrogen loading into the Indian River Lagoon, and to promote water conservation by its customers. Using customer data for the past fiscal year from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015, the goal is to reduce daily consumption for the 1,000 highest volumetric residential customers by ten percent or by 49,859 gallons. In addition, IRCDUS suspects that customers using more than 12,000 gallons per month are irrigating using their potable water meter (there are not irrigation motem), it is our goal to reduce the usage frorn those customers by an additional 15% or 55,813 gallons per day. c. How will you measure success? Describe your plan of action to measure the effectiveness of your project? AIso see High Consumption Reports. Success will be monitored by analyzing pre and post project fourth tier water usage (over 13,000 gaflons per month). With the first phase of 1,000 customers, we will also monitor success by comparing the pre and post annual consumption numbers for those customers. The reports provided with this application detail the past fiscal year's highest volume customers. This data will then be used to evaluate the overall per capita reduction system wide. . d. Describe how this project relates to Iarger projects and or goals of the applicant: Also see Additional Project Information section. Ultimately, IRCDUS intends to install the AMI system countywide. IRCDUS will utilize the initial phase to perfect the integration of the AMI software with their current billing system. Once that is working proficiently, we would complete implementation of the remaining 47.000 meters in two or three phases. Inclusive in the full scale implementation is the addition of a Mobile App that will allow customers to easily monitor their own usage from their computers, tablets, and smart phones We will also be able to send push notifications to our customers in order to better inform them of their usage habits We expect this will improve the overall conservation efforts of the county by directly involving the end users.
