Dealing With Water Shortage
As the water picture worsens, we have been asked many times to take steps to cut back our water usage. Much of the focus is on the individual consumer. At the same time, major wasters of water are doing business as usual, with apparently no pressure on them to conserve water. In frequent travels to Los Angeles and the Bay area, I’ve observed many hotels without low-flow shower heads. Consider 50-200 rooms per hotel all pouring out water at full bore, multiply this by the many delinquent hotels and you’re looking at an enormous potential savings.
