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.
