This credit was marked as Not Pursuing so Reporting Fields will not be displayed.

Data prior to 2014 does not include water consumption from several major affiliated residence halls which are, in FY 2018, billed along with the rest of the university. This therefore reflects and undercount in our baseline year, for which we do not currently have the data. In addition, for most of FY 2017 and FY 2018 a major leak in our district geothermal system accounted for millions of gallons of additional water use required to replenish the system. That leak was identified and sealed in the winter of 2017-18 and future water use should reflect significant reducations.

Data on water quantities provided by John Lattanze, Energy Manager (jlattanze@wcupa.edu). Number of students resident on campus in base year provided by Peter Galloway, Director of Housing and Dining Administration (pgalloway@wcupa.edu, x3307).
