A brief description of the plan of action to achieve water use reduction goals:

Chatham works to reduce water consumption and wastewater throughout our campuses, in recognition of the importance of our region's stormwater problems.

We practice water conservation in as many places as possible, from our trayless dining initiatives, no lawn irrigation policy (except for new grass seeding), new construction policies and retrofit programs in residence halls.
