Intelligent water consumption and conservation are mandatory for ensuring our future, and Vanguard Cleaning Systems of the Ozarks can help!
The Unsustainable Condition of Water Consumption
Water is one of the most vital and prolific elements on the planet, yet only 1 percent is readily available for human use.
Given the current rates of consumption, it has been estimated (2014) that 40 out of 50 U.S. states would experience regional issues with access to water over the following 10 years--a prediction that is playing out along the U.S. West Coast--potentially leading to dire circumstances.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency;
Water is a finite resource – even though about 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, less than 1 percent is available for human use.
Despite the water supply and infrastructure challenges faced by many communities across the US, each American uses an average of 82 gallons of water each day at home.
Water managers in at least 40 states expect local, statewide, or regional water shortages to occur over the next several years.
Ways to Save
Your business can start saving water today by updating or repairing systems you already use--many of which will improve the health and safety of your facility and its occupants--such as:
- Fixing leaky water faucets.
- Installing low-flow toilets.
- Putting signs up in the bathroom reminding everyone to conserve water and immediately report any leaks to facilities maintenance.
- Upgrading to automatic toilet and urinal flushing systems, and on/off sensors for bathroom sinks, and;
- Switching from liquid soap to foaming soap dispensers.
