  WUE Goals:
• Customer Goal (Demand Side):
  • Our goal through conservation measures is to limit previous 1% growth, over a rolling six year period as a measure of units of water per meter (previously 199 units per meter) to a 0.5% growth in sales to a six year rolling average of 198 units per meter in spite of a 1% growth in the number of meters.
    
  Describe Progrss in Reaching Goals:
• Customer (Demand Side) Goal Progress:
  • Using inverted block rates, distributing water sprinkler gauges, conservatin education through 'Word About Water Pages', and distributing toilet leak detection kits, Parkland Light and Water Co. experience a drop to 188 water units consumeed per meter in the six year rolling average including 2009.
    
• Additional Information Regarding Supply and Demand Side WUE Efforts
• Include any other information that describes how you and your customers use water efficiently:
  • Supply goal: Reduce distribution loss from 18% to under 10% over a six year period through leak detection, customer leak notification and replacing aging meters with new AMR meters. Currently we have replaced 40% of our total meters.
  • Progress: Parkland Light and Water Co. is currently replacing its 7,711 water meters with AMR meters. Our intent is to be fully AMR in six years. Our current meters range in age up to 30 years. It is estimated that as high as 5% loss in water sales can be experienced by older meters. The goal of replacing these older meters will be to account for an additional 5% in water consumption, thus reducing our DSL by the 5% level. Additional we have partnered with 8 other like minded Pierce County Water Purveyors and purchased 75 leak detectors. As of this report Parkland has used equipment and identified potential leak areas in our system. We have hired a contractor to pin point leaks using the information we have been provided.
