The Town of Cary, North Carolina, has found that a carefully planned waterconservation program can offer real solutions to real problems. By making themost of existing water supplies, Cary's conservation efforts have helped create a"new" source of water and enabled the town to delay two future plant expansionsby a total of 10 years, at a cost of $138/mil gal ($37/ML) of water saved. Thispaper offers an overview of Cary's long-term water conservation program and itsassociated costs and benefits. Includes 10 references, tables, figures.
