  9. Please describe general program acceptance/resistance by customers, obstacles to implementation, and other isues affecting program implementation or effectiveness.
 
This program hasn't been well accepted because of lack of motivation to customer to change out toilets. The $150 rebate doesn't offer enough incentive to a customer to disrupt their business and go through the headaches they associate with the toilet change out. It really is an example of "if it ain't broke don't fix it."
  10. Please provide a general assessment of the program for this reporting year. Did your program achieve its objectives? Were your targeting and marketing approaches effective? Were program costs in line with expectations and budgeting?
 
ACWD has not found this program to be effective in reaching the number of customers it is charged in getting to change out toilets. The current marketing of the program meets ACWD staffing constraints and allocated budget for this program. In order to make this program as effective as it could be it will mean outsourcing the program to a vendor who will market the program and do a direct install for the customer.
