Water Conservation

Buildings consume approximately 12% of the United States water supply. Water Efficiency is essential in a sustainable building in order to lower usage and costs, protect natural waterways with effective stormwater strategies, and to preserve the future water supply.
Check local municipalities for incentives and rebates given for effective measures that reduce the burden on municipal water supplies.
The EPA (www.epa.gov) has both regulatory and voluntary programs to assist in the protection and reduction of water usage.
