<br />WATER EFFICIENCY PlAN <br />DEPARTMENT OF INSTITUTIONS <br />(continued) <br /> <br />GOALS <br /> <br />The water conservation plan for DOl will exceed the requirements of the Act and <br />Executive Order by considering existing facilities in addition to new and renovated <br />construction. After evaluating applicable fixtures for new and renovation <br />construction, DOl will establish a long range program to replace worn or damaged <br />existing fixtures with water conserving models. Because of our unique client <br />requirements, a replacement program will be approached in a cautious and <br />deliberate manner, to minimize harmto the clients. <br /> <br />The first year of the plan will concentrate on evaluating and specifying water <br />conserving equipment for new or renovated construction which satisfy the unique <br />- - -- - - ~- - - - -requirements-ofBGI-;- A-dditionaHy, -in-the-first-yeai;-an-accurate- inventory-ofwater- - - . <br />consuming equipment will be established for existing facilities. Once accurate ' <br />inventories have been established and the results evaluated, acceptable replacement <br />fixtures will be identified and a water conserving policy will be incorporated into the <br />purchasing procedures. Low-cost, no-cost programs will be implemented in <br />subsequent years awaiting funding for the more cost intensive programs. The <br />proposed milestones which satisfy these goals are outlined below: <br /> <br />1993 <br />Establish a Department of Institutions Water Conservation Committee <br />New and Renovated Construction <br />Establish a program to incorporate statutory requirements. <br />Establish a list of acceptable water conserving models. <br />Request waiver exceptions as necessary. <br />Existing Facilities <br />Establish accurate historical database. <br />Establish accurate fixture inventory. <br />Establish accurate irrigation inventory. <br />Establish standards for replacement fixtures. <br />Establish list of acceptable replacement models. <br />Incorporate in DOl purchasing standards. <br />Develop budget requests which include water conservation. <br /> <br />5 <br />
