During last August, $7,451 was spent at CV
$89,412 per year at CV
$5,669 per month was spent at CHS
$68,028 per year at CHS
14,150,000 gallons used per year at CV
14 water meters
Estimated that CHS uses 10,756,606 gallons per year
7 water meters
A majority of water used by students is because of bathroom use
How often do you use the drinking fountains? A few times a day 111 Once a day 41 A few times a week 73 A few times a month 59 Almost never 343
How often do you use the toilet at school?
A few times a day 139Once a day 210A few times a week 77A few times a month 56Almost never 136
How often do you use the showers?Everyday after a school sport or P.E. class 20A few times a week after a sport or class 14A few times a month after a sport or class 4Never 516
93% of CV students never use the showers
30 1.6 gallon toilets
Most sinks are automatic
B-building: 4 manual sinks, 2 of the sinks leak, 4 toilets with no gallon specification, 1 toilet perpetually runs
Gym: 4 sinks manual, 2 of the sinks leak, 14 toilets with no gallon specification, 1 toilet perpetually runs
F-building: 1 inefficient drinking fountain
Main Hall: 1 inefficient drinking fountain, 1 toilet perpetually runs
CHS may use less water because the school is newer
Decreasing the number of water meters may increase efficiency
Most of CV’s unsustainable practices are a result of either malfunctioning or outdated equipment
Find out the purpose of each water meter at CV
Research costs of new facilities such as toilets and sinks
Research a rainwater collector Look into CHS’s potentially sustainable
practices Consider other aspects of CV water use
