Potential water savings and resulting cost savings <br />may be realized in domestic use. The following utility costs were used to compute the <br />potential savings of water-conservation measures. <br /> <br />* Water cost of $0.60 per 1,000 gallons. <br /> <br />* Wastewater costs of $1.66 per 1,000 gallons of water used. <br /> <br />* Electrical energy costs of $0.0609 per kilowatt-hour. <br /> <br />* Natural gas energy cost of $0.3401 per hundred cubic feet. <br /> <br />Domestic Use - The largest water usage identified at the facility was domestic use, <br />amounting to 86 % of total use. Two water conservation measures could be implemented <br />to reduce domestic water consumption, installation of flow-restrictors on flush valve toilets <br />and 1.0 gpm faucet aerators on all sink faucets. The following summary identifies the <br />potential water and sewer savings as well as estimated investment costs for these <br />modifications. <br />
