Reduce Wasted Water in Your Building

Excessive water use is often overlooked by building owners and managers as a way to reduce the amount of money they spend on utilities.  However, there are several different ways that you can encourage your company to "go green" and reduce water consumption.
  • Replace existing toilets and urinals with high efficient options.  This can save up to 12,000 gallons of water annually per toilet!
  • Install automatic flush valves and water reducing aerators on faucets.
  • Consider installing a rainwater harvesting or greywater recycling system for lawn and plant irrigation.
  • Keep an eye out for running toilets & dripping faucets.
  • Consider installing air-cooled ice machines instead of water-cooled ice machines.
  • Sweep sidewalks and walkways instead of hosing them down.
  • Run your break room dishwasher only when it is full.
Implementing a few small changes in your facility can result in big water and energy savings.  Stroh Corporation provides the equipment and services you need to reduce excess consumption.  To stop wasting expensive resources and start saving money today, contact Stroh Corporation at 800-243-8177.
