Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Water consumption is generally trending downwards at Gettysburg college. However, during the year of 2010 our new LEED gold gym was constructed. The construction process, along with filling the new pool 3 times, used a large amount of water. Water usage in 2011 is approximately 1,000,000 gallons lower than in 2010 and the campus is 55,000 square feet larger. A new centrifugal chiller was also installed at the energy plant, which reduces energy consumption but increases water consumption. For these reasons, water consumption was abnormally high during the year of 2010.
