| 1 | 1. | Water Utility Conservation Plan Presentation | Presentation | Water Utility Conservation Plan Presentation by Water Utility Staff
Gawenda noted that the Water Utility Conservation Plan is still a draft plan. That a committee was set-up to work on this and that they worked for about one year.

Gawenda began Power Point Presentation
Right now Madison residents use 73 gallons of water/capita/day. As the city grows, the city needs to sustain our water resource over time.

Staff indicated that the City sells/gives away some computers and the City also has a contract with Cascade Asset Management to recycle our old computers. Satya wanted to know how do the TNS projects grow? Staff mentioned that the projects do grow and used the energy wasters as an example. The City first determined which buildings use the most energy and now FM is taking steps to reduce energy use at these building. Staff also mentioned Fleet.
