A brief description of the institution's water-related behavior change initiatives, e.g. initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices such as signage and competitions:
ISU has taken the initiative of retrofitting leaking faucets within the academic buildings as well as upgrading water bottle filling stations to be more efficient.
A brief description of the institution's water recovery and reuse initiatives:
ISU minimally utilizes water catchment for irrigation purposes. Grey water systems are not formally adopted in the Illinois Plumbing Code.
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace plumbing fixtures, fittings, appliances, equipment, and systems with water-efficient alternatives (e.g. building retrofits):
ISU regularly employs the installation of aerators in sinks, Water Sense plumbing fixtures, and has completed some retrofits to decrease sediment for the installation of water bottle filling stations.
