WATER AUDIT REPORT

INTRODUCTION:

In conjunction with HB 91-1154, the Water Conservation Act of 1991,
Capitol Complex Facilities has undertaken the task of auditing the
water consumption in those facilities for which we are responsible.
Our intent, as prescribed by this bill, is to promote and implement
sound measures to enhance water use efficiency in order to serve
the current water needs of the State, to assure the availability of
an adequate supply for future uses, and to assist the State in
maintaining a reasonable cost structure for these water services.

To this end, we are in process of completing an inventory of our
facilities to determine the following conditions:

1.

Water efficiency
including water
faucets.

of existing fixtures and appliances,
closets, urinals, showerheads and

2. Low water-use landscaping and efficient irrigation
systems.

3. Water-efficiency of mechanical processes and systems.

4. Water reuse systems, both potable and non-potable.

5. Water distribution system leakage.

benefits.
