Those public water systems regulated by the public service commission shall follow applicable procedures to account for water use as provided in ch. PSC 185 and the calculations shall be included in the water use audit.

(b) A description of the water conservation and water use efficiency goals, including quantifiable goals.

(b) If applicable, the results of an analysis conducted under s. NR 852.09 to determine if a CEM required in Table 2 is cost-effective.

(c) If applicable, the results of an analysis conducted under s. NR 852.10 to determine if a CEM required in Table 2 is environmentally sound and economically feasible.

(4)  Persons identified in Tier 3 shall submit all of the following information in the water conservation plan, in addition to the information required under sub. (2) :

(a) An implementation timeline for implementing the CEMs or documentation of the implementation of the CEMs in s. NR 852.05 , as appropriate.

(b) If applicable, the results of an analysis conducted under s. NR 852.09 to determine if a CEM required in Table 2 is cost-effective.

(c) If applicable, the results of an analysis conducted under s. NR 852.10 to determine if a CEM required in Table 2 is environmentally sound and economically feasible.

(d) The results of the analysis to identify additional CEMs as required by s. NR 852.06 (1) .
