The County will replace water-wasting equipment with more efficient equipment.
Incorporate preferences for water-saving equipment into the County’s procurement and capital improvement plans. Seek incentives or grant funds from local water purveyor(s), the State, and the federal government.
Timeframe: Long term
GHG Reduction Potential: Will reduce energy consumption, but no GHGs reduced in 2030 because of the availability of carbon-neutral electricity sources.
Sector: Water-Related
Target Indicator: Records of replaced water equipment each year showing the selection of equipment with efficiencies higher than average.
The County complies with Building Code requirements for water efficiency fixtures for new construction and upgrades existing fixtures upon replacement. Challenges exist with older facilities built to older code standards when utilizing low-flow fixtures. The Department of General Services is identifying old and inefficient equipment for future retrofits to increase water saving capabilities.
