Part 1. Reduction in potable water use per person

Total water withdrawal (potable and non-potable combined):

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Total water withdrawal	29,894,100 Gallons	34,737,110 Gallons

Potable water use:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use	29,894,100 Gallons	34,737,110 Gallons

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Period	July 1, 2019	June 30, 2020
Baseline Period	July 1, 2018	June 30, 2019

If end date of the baseline year/period is 2004 or earlier, provide:

A brief description of when and why the water use baseline was adopted:

The baseline year is 2018/2019 because it is as far back as our records go as of starting to record them in 2021.

Both the 2019/2020 and the 2020/2021 fiscal years are not well suited to be performance years due to the pandemic, but 2019/2020 was less skewed than last year, so we've elected to use it as a temporary performance year for this submission. In a few years we will resubmit with a full year of post-pandemic data.
