Optional Fields

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:

Pratt has attempted to reduce water consumption by: - installing low flow fixtures and auto faucets, flushometers - reducing leaks in the steam distribution system - controlling irrigation more accurately.

A brief description of the institution's water recovery and reuse initiatives:

We are not recovering water.

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):

We have been installing low flow and auto fixtures as a general practice and during renovations and construction. we have been tracking down and repairing steam system leaks. We have been controlling irrigation more accurately.
