	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Total water use	465,656,131 Gallons	482,261,911 Gallons

Potable water use:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use	182,018,216 Gallons	235,469,071 Gallons

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

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	Sept. 1, 2016	Aug. 31, 2017
Baseline Year	Sept. 1, 2011	Aug. 31, 2012

A brief description of when and why the water use baseline was adopted:
Figures needed to determine "Weighted Campus Users":
