<br />COSTS <br /> <br />Levels of monetary savings vary with the cost of energy in specific <br />areas. Low flow and aerating fixtures are a very economical means of <br />conservation and efficiency, with models costing from $5. to $20. retail. <br />Wholesale prices are again less. Associated savings is mainly derived <br /> <br />, <br />from the monies spent to heat water for these uses. Approximate annual <br />savings, using Public Service's current rates of $0.061 per kwh of <br />electricity and $0.34 per cd of natural gas, will total from $100.-250. in <br />energy costs alone, with an additional $80, savings for reduced water and <br />sewer bills, <br />Following are two examples of return on investments in these fixtures. <br />Below is the results of a successful retrofit program in New Jersey, and <br />the next page compares an investment in conservation with other typical <br />investments, <br /> <br />New Jersey Department Of Energy . <br />In response to the drought emergency declared by the governor in 1987, the NJ DOE purchased 385.000 Incredible Head' <br />low flow showerheads and targeted installation in 30% of the housing stock in the six drought affected counties. All hospitals <br />and high schools were inciuded. This concentrated distribution of low flow showerheads achieved the following impact: <br /> <br />Total annual BTU's saved <br />Total Energy Dollars saved <br />Total Water saved <br />Total Water Dollars saved <br />Shower head unit cost <br /> <br />: 1 ,1 04 Billion BTU's <br />: $14,973,000.00 <br />: 2,467 Billion Gallons <br />: $5.028,400.00 <br />:$2.50 <br /> <br />5 <br />
