Save Money by having a Water Wise Business Call
Now is the perfect time to call your water service provider for a FREE Water Wise Business Call or ask about incentives towards the purchase of more water efficient appliances and plumbing fixtures.
During the Water Wise Business Call, a trained water utility staff person will visit your business and review water use patterns and discuss incentives both inside and out:
Outdoor:
- Review the irrigation system. Landscape maintenance crews are tasked with "keeping it super green" and not with lowering your water bills. If you have a gardening service, their incentive is to overwater, which may lead to other expensive problems, including damage to building siding from overspray, damaged asphalt, threats of toxic mold, standing water for breeding mosquitoes, among other hazards. Suggestions will be given for irrigation system improvements. During a Water Wise Business Call, technicians will evaluate the efficiency of the irrigation system; identify leaks, broken or mismatched sprinkler heads or other common problems; and provide a custom watering schedule.
Indoor:
- Review appliances for water efficient products and recommend more efficient models when replacements are needed. Some water utilities offer rebates on the purchase of new high efficiency toilets or clothes washers. Learn what rebate programs your water service provider offers and if your appliances are eligible for these incentives.
- Measure the flow rate of faucets and showerheads to check for inefficiencies. Older models may be eligible for upgrades.
Before leaving, the technician will provide a summary of findings, water efficiency materials and tips with tailored recommendations on how to lower the water use at your business.
Preventing water waste today leads to direct and quick benefits on your bottom-line, and a Water Wise Business Call is a great place to start.
