A water audit is a valuable tool that allows FMs to manage resources by understanding how their facilities use water. Benefits of a water audit include improved knowledge and documentation of the distribution system, including problem and risk areas.
By documenting site’s water use over time, the audit provides a baseline for comparison of progress on current and future conservation efforts in response to company performance goals. A Certified Landscape Irrigation Auditor (CLIA) can provide detailed guidance for posts with intensive irrigation requirements.
No- or low-cost water savings improvements can include faucet aerator and low-flow showerhead installation, washer replacement, leak repair, or use of rainwater catchment barrels for landscape irrigation.
