Description
Water conservation is becoming a viable alternative and is complementary to developing new water supplies. It involves a combination of retrofits, an upgrade of water related equipment and fixtures, the maintenance of infrastructure, and a collective water conservation ethic focused on resource use, allocation, and protection. There are ample opportunities in all types of buildings to achieve significant water savings, indoors and outdoors, by making improvements in several operational areas.
Objective
To reduce water consumption and increase reuse of water to mitigate impacts on the municipal supply and treatment systems.
