General Parts of a Water Audit
Conducting an audit of one's facility is a significant
undertaking involving the need for labor, time, and materials.
There are many tasks that must be performed to obtain meaningful
data about a facility's water use. You may wish to obtain
assistance from the utility company or an Architect and
Engineering (A/E) firm. A series of Water Conservation Survey
forms, which will help you organize your audit information, have
been developed by the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center
and can be located in Appendix B.
a) Gather Existing Information.
The following
information should be obtained:
(1) Any maps or floor plans showing plumbing or
equipment locations.
(2) Past water and sewage bills from the utility,
as well as the identity of the utility.
