A brief description of the institution's water recovery and reuse initiatives:
We have a rich aquifer underneath campus that we access through 8 wells on campus. We also use much of our rainwater on campus and are working towards increasing the amount of rainwater that is diverted from the sewer system.
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):
As we pursue LEED certification on renovations and new construction we are committed to the progressive improvement of plumbing fixtures and fittings. LEED-certified buildings are resource efficient. They use less water and energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Water use information was gathered from the annual facilities report. Vegetated land has not changed since the previous report, so the previous information is still accurate.
The information presented here is self-reported. While AASHE staff review portions of all STARS reports and institutions are welcome to seek additional forms of review, the data in STARS reports are not verified by AASHE. If you believe any of this information is erroneous or inconsistent with credit criteria, please review the process for inquiring about the information reported by an institution or simply email your inquiry to stars@aashe.org.
