A brief description of the plan of action to achieve water use reduction goals:

Wesleyan has a stated and demonstrated commitment to conserve water. In 2008, Wesleyan installed a pool cover for the main indoor pool to prevent energy loss and evaporation when the pool is not in use. In 2011, Wesleyan replaced high flow toilets, flush valves on toilets and urinals, and faucets with low flow units, reducing consumption by 13,100,000 gallons (17,565 CCF) annually.
