If intending to adopt <br />a conservation rate structure, include the timeframe to do so: <br /> <br />Objective 7: Additional strategies to Reduce Water Use and Support Wellhead Protection <br />Planning <br />Development and redevelopment projects can provide additional water conservation opportunities, <br />such as the actions listed below. If a Uniform Rate Structure is in place, the water supplier must provide <br />a Water Conservation Program that includes at least two of the actions listed below. Check those actions <br />that you intent to implement within the next 10 years. <br />Table 28.
