Commercial Water Use Evaluation

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the COVID-19 emergency, our in-person Water Use Evaluations are on hold until further notice. Learn more about our new Water Wise Phone Consultations.

Water Use Evaluations for Commercial Customers

To help identify potential water saving opportunities and efficiency improvements, we offer free professional water use evaluations to all Commercial customers, including industrial and institutional customers, within our retail and wholesale service area.

The benefits of incorporating water efficiency upgrades are decreased operating costs through a reduction in water, energy, and potentially sewer charges. Commercial customers who have followed our recommendations have seen a return on their investment in as little as a year.

You can request an evaluation of your property’s interior water use, landscape water use, or both.

During the evaluation, our trained staff will: 

  • Review the property’s water use and discuss water reduction goals
  • Provide an evaluation of the building water use by assessing appliances, fixtures, and equipment
  • Recommend upgrades, improvements, and best management practices to improve interior and landscape water use efficiency
  • Provide free water-efficient aerators, showerheads, and toilet leak detection dye tablets
  • Recommend applicable rebate incentives
  • Review irrigated landscaping and provide a suggested watering schedule
