The Partnership is committed to providing programs that advance our mission of increasing water conservation in the Central Puget Sound Region. We are currently evaluating and prioritizing programs. We differentiate between programs and services, defining programs as being activities that may or may not require a fee-for-service. Services will require a fee.

We anticipate that the prioritizing of programs will be an ongoing process that will need to be revised and refined as the Partnership evolves and conservation issues change within our program area. Our Programs & Services Committee is charged with overseeing this process.

Here is a sampling of programs we would like to offer:

• Organize and/or sponsor training sessions and workshops on water conservation issues
• Hold quarterly forums throughout the region to discuss water conservation issues and bring about policy change
• Maintain a Water Conservation Data Base and Library on the website
• Create a recognition program that recognizes businesses and organizations for innovative and effective water conservation programs
• Develop and implement water conservation campaigns
• Create a “Blue Wave” certification program for businesses
• Research and establish best management practices relating to water conservation
• Maintain a listing of rebate opportunities within the Partnership service area
• Produce a quarterly newsletter that highlights water conservation success stories

• Programs Related to the Partnership Website
• Education and Advocacy
• Programs for the Business & Commercial Sector
• Regional Service Coordination

The following programs will be available on the website:

Conservation Data Base and Library
The Partnership will maintain a website with a wealth of information on water conservation including: general information that is available and accessible other places through references or links; and specialized information that others might find helpful to develop and/or evaluate conservation programs. The latter information will be available to members only.

Water Conservation Rebate Listing
The Partnership will construct and maintain a clearinghouse identifying water conservation incentive and rebate opportunities for water customers within the Partnership program area.

Conservation Performance Data Base
The Partnership will maintain a data base of conservation goals and performance data based on reports from the Municipal Water Law. This data will be limited to data that is made available to us. Access to data would be for members only.



The Partnership will encourage networking and communication between the members of its three caucuses and other interested parties.

Quarterly Forums – featuring interesting speakers on water conservation topics and providing network opportunities and open channels for discussion

Quarterly Newsletter – Featuring the latest water conservation news and technologies and providing success stories from within our region

The following programs will be directed toward the business community:

Workshops on water conservation for business users. These could be targeted to specific industries: i.e., green industry, building industry, etc.

“Blue Wave” Recognition Program - A certification program for businesses and other organizations providing recognition for meeting conservation standards set by the Partnership This would be part of an overall Partnership recognition program that would annually honor businesses and organizations for their outstanding water conservation efforts.



The Partnership could assume the role of coordination of regional water conservation messaging and products. The Partnership could become the generator of future campaigns and/or conservation implementation programs. Activities such as coordination with service and product providers and linkages to regional messaging could be elements of this program.
