<br />5. <br /> <br />per day. Assuming 2.5 gpm of water Used per 100 tons of <br />capacity in a cooling tower, the annual water use is <br />estimated at 1,394,000 gallons. This value includes water <br />lost through evaporation, drift, and normal blowdown <br />operations. The newly installed sub meter for cooling tower <br />usage can be used to verify these calculation. Additionally, <br />reducing the wastewater costs for cOQling water should result <br />in considerable financial savings. <br /> <br />Kitchen - Kitchen use is limited in these facilities. Based <br />on 0.3 gallons of water per meal for pre~aration, 27,000 of <br />water is used for preparation. Twelve d~shwashers uses of 15 <br />gallons each, five days a week for a.year equals 47,000 <br />gallons. During the site visit, the;kitchen sink was found <br />to be leaking a steady flow. This leak was estimated to <br />amount to about 5000 9allons peryeat. Other miscellaneous <br />uses in the kitchen, ~ce making, cle ning, etc are estimated <br />~r ~.ooo gallons annua . Total e rl kitchen use is <br />therefore estimated at 84,000 gallon. <br /> <br />Landscape Irriaation - The landscape~ area adjacent to these <br />buildings is minimal, estimated at 91000 to 10,000 square <br />feet. Watering of these areas is do~e early in the morning, <br />and is normally done by 8:00 a.m. T~e sprinkler systems are <br />operated by automatic controllers loeated at the different <br />buildings. An estimated 50,000 gallons per year are applied <br />to these areas. <br /> <br />Unaccounted Use - The remaining watet use, approximately <br />195,000 gallons per year, was not ac~ounted for in this <br />report. This represents about 5% of total water consumed at <br />these facilities. ' <br /> <br />TABLE 3 <br />Water.
