Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

A pilot project with waterless urinals was conducted in 2008-9, but was deemed a failure. Pipes corroded and the urinals did not work, according to facilities operations staff. Pint-flush urinals have been installed in limited locations, however, and are much more successful.

Finally, all athletic fields and the golf course are irrigated from non-potable wells, and another well supplies the water to wash all university vehicles.
