Title
Resolution Approving and Adopting the Town of Castle Rock 2024 Water Use Management Plan (WUMP) [Castle Rock Service Area]
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
The purpose of this memorandum is to request Town Council approval of a Resolution (Attachment A) adopting the 2024 Water Use Management Plan (WUMP). The WUMP is a demand management tool that identifies regulations and watering schedules as a method to encourage water conservation during peak irrigation demand and throughout the year. The WUMP is used to establish a fee structure concerning surcharges and water violations as a way to deter non-compliance with these measures. Practices outlined in the WUMP help to minimize the effects of changing drought conditions. The WUMP supports sustainable habits for a growing community to preserve the water supply of Castle Rock’s semi-arid desert location. The WUMP is one of the methods Castle Rock Water (CRW) utilizes to assist the community toward realizing the 100 gallon per day water usage goal while still maintaining a high standard of living for residents. The WUMP is referenced in Municipal Code Chapters 13.15.040 and 13.15.050. For this year, only minor administrative changes are suggested and no substantial content changes are being proposed.
