WATER USAGE BEST PRACTICES COMMITTEE

The Central Iowa Water Works (CIWW) Water Usage Best Practices Committee Improvements Committee, an ad hoc committee of the board, focuses on identifying best practices in managing peak demand and overall water usage as a means to control future costs of building additional supply in the region. The committee is charged with exploring education and outreach, usage data analyses, technology advances, rate structures and incentive programs as possible means for controlling peak demand and lowering overall water usage throughout the region.

As each member will be responsible for future supply costs based on their territory’s growth, it will be the decision of each entity whether and to what extent best practices are deployed within their service territory. Efforts can be deployed region-wide but only with the consent of the member entities after a vote.
