Conducting a water audit
Some hints and guidelines for conducting the water component of your ecoBiz Baseline Assessment and Site Survey.
Cleaning practices
Water used for general cleaning can account for up to 50 percent in the food processing industry.
Commercial kitchens
One drip a second from a leaky tap equates to 25 litres of water a day or 9000 litres a year.
Commercial washing machines
Cut water consumption by up to 30 percent by reusing water from the final rinse cycle for the next load.
Cooling towers
Even though most cooling towers reuse water, they can still account for between 10 to 25 percent of a facility’s total water consumption.
Guest rooms
Simple changes like installing water efficient fixtures can reduce water usage and costs without compromising the comfort of guests.
Save water in the workplace
For every Queensland resident, 125 litres of treated water is used every day in workplaces.
Staff amenities
Staff amenities can account for between 15 and 40 percent of total water use.
