Water Efficient Facility Maintenance Practices


Save 15% - 30%
of your water usage through simple efficiency maintenance practices in your business.

  • Read and monitor water-use records monthly.
  • Regularly check for leaks in all equipment, appliances, piping, steam lines, solenoid valves and related connections.
  • Shut off water supply to areas, rooms, equipment, and fixtures that are unused.
  • Install a pressure-reducing valve, where appropriate, to reduce incoming flows, leaks and wear and tear on equipment and plumbing.
  • Maintain and clean cooling and heating systems.
  • Reduce loads on water-cooled air conditioning units by shutting them off when and where they are not needed.
  • Recycle and reuse water wherever feasible.
  • Use humidifiers only where and when needed.
  • To protect water lines from freezing, install shutoff valves rather than running water continuously.
  • Maintain insulation on hot water pipes to minimize heat loss.
  • Choose water efficient models when purchasing new equipment, appliance, fixtures, and irrigation systems.
