Hi everyone, Last Thursday Commissioner Cunningham asked staff about the MSU item on tonight’s agenda. See hisrequest wording below. I asked staff to check with MSU. Attached is a bullet list from Duke Elliot at MSU.Thanks, Andrea~~~~~~~~~~~~~~One question. The dramatic reduction of water use at MSU could serve as an important community
education opportunity, particularly for our larger commercial water users. Is there any chance that wecan get - as part of the discussion of the issue, or in response to a Commissioner's question - a list of theTop 10 (or 5, etc.) ways that MSU reduced water consumption?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi Brian,
This is basic and to the point. Please let me know if you need additional information.
Have a great weekend,
Duke

MSU Water Conservation
• Replace older lavatory faucets with new faucets of .5 GPM flow.
• Change lavatory aerators in hand wash faucets to .5 GPM aerators
• Change showerheads to 1.5 GPM
• Specify dual flush and or low volume flush for toilets (water closets) in new
buildings.
• Specify low volume flush urinals in all new buildings.
• Modify flush valves (where practical) in existing urinals and toilets (water
closets)
• Use non-potable (irrigation) water for lawn and landscape watering.
• Equipment and mechanical system upgrades for water efficiency and
reduction of single pass water cooled and water intensive equipment.
Key Aspects of MSU Water Conservation
• Test products and applications prior to large scale changes.
• Assess water use in each building with priority to buildings with greatest
use and high occupancy.
• Evaluate associated energy savings for those measures that reduce the use
of heated water.
• Measure and verify savings.
