(For <br /> example, spent rinse water can often be reused in a cooling tower.) Keep in mind the true cost <br /> of water is the amount on the water bill PLUS the expenses to heat, cool, treat, pump, and <br /> dispose of/discharge the water. Don't just calculate the initial investment. Many conservation <br /> retrofits that appear to be prohibitively expensive are actually very cost-effective when <br /> amortized over the life of the equipment. Often reducing water use also saves electrical and <br /> other utility costs. Note: as of 2015, water reuse, and is not allowed by the state plumbing <br /> code, M.R. 4715 (a variance is needed). However several state agencies are addressing this <br /> issue. <br /> Table 26.Strategies and timeframe to reduce institutional,commercial industrial,and agricultural and non-revenue use <br /> demand <br /> Strategy to reduce total business, industry,agricultural demand Timeframe for completing work <br /> ❑ Conduct a facility water use audit for both indoor and outdoor <br /> use, including system components <br /> ❑X Install enhanced meters capable of automated readings to Leak detection reports are generated, letters <br /> detect spikes in consumption are sent to each customer.
