Water Use Reduction Clause Samples
Water Use Reduction. Any additional Tenant added fixtures shall meet the following maximum water use rates: Toilets maximum 1.28 gallons per flush; Urinals maximum 0.125 gallons per flush; Sensored Lavatory faucets maximum 0.5 gallons per minute (12 second cycle); Shower heads maximum 1.75 gallons per minute, Pantry faucets maximum 1.8 gallons per minute.
Water Use Reduction. An evaluation of water usage at Plant 2 revealed that the highest water consumption activities were: Bio filtration 2,627,700 gallons Cooling tower 2,375,650 gallons Screen reclamation 6,949,600 gallons Total 11,952,950 gallons While a cooling tower process is based upon evaporation to create cooling, a portion of the water is used for blow down in order to maintain water quality. This water, which is of relatively good quality, was being discharged to drain. Further investigation of the screen reclamation process found that two rinse booths were operating almost continuously irrespective of what was required for the process. In addition, the quality of the waste water exceeded the city sewer treatment plant limits for biological oxygen demand (BOD). A Green Tier goal was developed to reduce the amount used in during screen reclamation and route the remaining water to the bio filter along with the entire blow down water discharged by the cooling towers. The project was completed during April 2006. The results were as follows:
Water Use Reduction. We anticipate the total water consumption of the project to be reduced by 45%, through the use of dual-flush water closets, low-flow urinals, and sensor-activated lavatories. This represents approximately 1.1 million gallons of water saved each year.
