When designing a facility, one aspect that is widely overlooked is the amount of water your facility will be consuming. This means in the initial step of the design phase your first priority should be to conserve. In the end, you will save a lot more in costs than you may think.

Think of it this way. On a daily basis, how much water does your facility really rely on? Whether your members are taking a shower, washing their hands, or even getting a drink from the water fountain, the utilization of water is apart of our every day lives. Because of this, a great deal of water is consumed as well as wasted.

To many people's surprise, conserving water is one of the simplest ways to cut down on consumer costs. On average, a 10,000 square foot facility contains approximately six toilets, two urinals, and six lavatories. Using 156,000 gallons a year, average costs of water consumption can be as high as ten thousand dollars. Conserving energy and resources in the state our economy is necessary right now, luckily, our technology has evolved exponentially.

Today, there are mass amounts of companies who specialize in conserving the consumption of materials. There are now urinals that consume only a pint of water rather than a full gallon with every flush, automatic faucets that run for thirty seconds, and now in our modern day we even have toilets that have a specific flush for our solid waste and a specific flush for our liquid waste all at our will.

By utilizing these "eco-friendly" products, you can cut your water consuming costs down by fifty percent. You will save thousands of gallons of water, as a majority of these products use a substantially smaller amount of water than regular toilets, urinals and sinks.

The possibilities for cutting down the consumption of water are endless. You just need to know where to look and who to call.
