City of Atlanta partners with P2AD to help water customers save money

Abstract

Atlanta joined forces with the Pollution Prevention Assistance Division (P2AD) to assist businesses and institutions in reducing the financial impact of increased water and sewer rates. As a result of P2AD’s water efficiency assistance, Delta Airlines’ plating shop is saving an estimated 14.4 million gallons and $510,000 per year, a 55 percent reduction in water use. P2AD recommended water efficiency measures for the Atlanta City Detention Center that could save an estimated 12 million gallons and $170,000 per year, a 41 percent reduction in water use. Similarly, water conservation measures at Lenox Woods Apartments could save an estimated 4 million gallons of water and $68,000 per year, a 44 percent reduction in water use.
