A brief description of the plan of action to achieve water use reduction goals:
Since 1990, due to water conservation measures by Campus Facilities, water use per gross square foot on campus has decreased by 61 percent (Sustainability Task Force Report, 2009). Recently, the MU Power Plant began using recycled waste water from the plant’s water treatment system to supplement the plant’s cooling water system. The University of Missouri will continue to monitor and make improvements to campus water use (including but not limited to water quality, quantity of use and runoff/storm water processes). The university will require that storm water quality be optimized and quantity be managed through the adoption, implementation, revision and enforcement of the university’s Phase II MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) Permit and Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) as appropriate and that management strategies adapt as understanding of campus water resources improves.
