Understanding Enterprise-Wide Water Consumption

With water and sewer rates increasing over 50% in the past decade, understanding both building and enterprise-wide consumption is of strategic importance to manage risks and reduce operating expense. Typically, through a Tier 2 analysis, measures leading to a 20-35% water reduction are identified.

Creating an effective utility management strategy is not complete without incorporating water efficiency. Historically, water wasn’t typically focused on as the expense wasn’t impactful to the overall utility budget; however, with water and sewer rates increasing faster than any other commodity, efficiency measures can not only be impactful, but also offer attractive paybacks.
