Although the campus size increased, there was an overall reduction in water use. The reduction is attributed to a number of on-going initiatives:

  • Implemented a water leak mitigation program.
  • Made efficiency improvements to water consuming equipment (HVAC cooling towers).
  • Installed water efficient restroom fixtures that are low flow and motion activated.
  • Rain sensors were installed in our irrigation systems.
