This credit was marked as Not Applicable for the
following reason:
Existing Water Demand
The campus currently uses approximately 110 million gallons per year (MGY). Water used inside buildings accounts for approximately 83 percent, and irrigation accounts for the remaining 17 percent. Potable water currently supplies the vast majority of campus demand. The University purchases potable water from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). There are no alternative sources of water on campus, aside from a small rainwater harvesting system at the Recycling Center that collects about 60,000 gallons of rainwater per year for irrigation adjacent to the building.
Projected Water Demand
Water demand at full campus buildout is projected to be 211 million gallons per year, nearly double current demand. This increase results primarily from the addition of residence halls and other housing. The plan to increase campus enrollment to 30,000 FTE students also contributes to rising demand.
