Dear Planning Group Member:

Enclosed are a meeting summary and post-meeting comments that we have received

from participants for our June 20, 1994, public meeting in New York City on

"Incentive Programs for Voluntary Replacement of Plumbing Products."

The final section of the meeting minutes describes suggested actions,

responsibilities, and a schedule for how we plan to proceed over the coming

months in drafting a list of recommendations for incentive programs.

As an important basis for those draft recommendations, we will review water

conservation literature and relevant databases to produce an "Inventory" that

will follow an outline similar to the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA)

document, Customer Incentives for Water Conservation. Summaries in this

inventory will have a length and detail similar to EPA's document, Designing a

Water Conservation Program: An Annotated Bibliography of Source Material.

Please contact Camilla Dunham at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory if you have

particularly useful references or information sources that would assist us in

the preparation of this inventory.

We would very much appreciate your review of these materials. Your comments

are particularly desired for the next steps we have outlined on pages 5 and 6

of the meeting summary, and any assistance you can provide in accomplishing

them. Please note that this schedule includes the production of a working

draft report with "Strawman" recommendations by this fall. We suggest a

meeting to review those draft recommendations in conjunction with the American

Water Works Association's Water Conservation subgroup meeting in Santa Fe, New

Mexico, in January, 1995.

Please provide your comments on this suggested approach to Camilla Dunham by

August 26, 1994, at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Mail Stop 90-4000, Berkeley,

California 94720, (Telephone: 510- 486-6998; Fax: 510- 486-6996).

Thank you for your help, and I look forward to our continuing work.

Sincerely,
