A brief description of the plan of action to achieve water use reduction goals:

Water Efficient Fixture Retrofits – Existing buildings are currently in a multi-year process of being retrofitted with water efficient fixtures to achieve at least 50% reductions in potable water flows.
Bottle Filling Fixtures – Drinking fountains across campus are being retrofitted with fixtures to fill reusable water bottles, reducing the demand for bottled water. All new drinking fountains that are installed on campus will also have these bottle filling fixtures.
Engagement and Outreach - The university has an annual campaign to raise awareness about point of use water reduction. The SustainabilityON Water Wise campaign is typically a two-month long program that targets staff, students and faculty.
