<br />, <br /> <br />NWCCOG / CWCB WATER CONSERVATION MODEL <br />WATER CONSERVATION FIXTURE SURVEY RESPONSE EVALUATION <br /> <br />Two buildings in an condominium complex were surveyed for the model project. Building <br />200 was retrofitted with water conserving toilets, showerheads, and faucet aerators. Building <br />300 was used as the control and was not retrofitted. Surveys, printed on 4" by 6" cards <br />were left by the management in each of the building rooms prior to occupancy, and collected <br />by the management staff. The survey is reproduced at the end of this summary. <br /> <br />A numerical rating of the water fixtures was requested on a scale of 1 - 5 ( with 1 being <br />unacceptable and 5 being excellent). Other fixtures were also included (refrigerator and <br />stove), so as not to draw undue attention to the water conserving devices. <br /> <br />SURVEY RESULTS <br /> <br />Twenty-one questionnaires were returned: 15 from Building 200, 6 from Building 300. The <br />ratings for the water fixtures are listed below. <br /> <br />Building 200 5 4 3 2 1 <br />(Retrofitted) Excellent Unacceptable <br />Toilets 7 3 3 2 0 <br />Showerheads 5 4 5 1 0 <br />Sink faucets 5 3 5 1 1 <br />Comments concernm the :I1Xtures mCluc!ecI: to et hac! tenc!e nc to block two uestlonnau <br /> <br />g y (q es, <br />both rated 2); shower faucets dripped (one questionnaire, rated 1); sink faucets dnpped (two <br />questionnaires, rated 1 and 2). <br /> <br />Building 300 5 4 3 2 1 <br />(Control) Excellent Unacceptable <br />Toilets 2 2 2 0 0 <br />Showerheads 1 3 0 2 0 <br />Sink faucets 1 1 4 0 0 <br />Comments concernm the fixtures mcludecl: to et had tendenc to block (one questronnau <br /> <br />g y ~ <br />rated 3); shower massager does not adjust (one questionnaire, rated 2); sink faucets dripped <br />(two questionnaires, both rated 3). <br />
