Options Used

Retrofit government facilities with water smart fixtures and technology. Reduce non-point source pollution at local government facilities by ensuring the staff and operations are meeting National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requirements. Across municipal operations, track water use and analyze trends at the building level. Reducing water use can prevent or alleviate drought impacts. Consider creating a dashboard to educate staff on water
