In the Tampa Water Department's service area, non-residential customers account for almost 40 percent of the annual total metered water sales.  To assist these customers in saving water and lowering their utility bills the Tampa Water Department offers its customers a free ICI Water Use Efficiency Survey designed to aid facility managers in identifying areas where water may be conserved.

 Businesses in Tampa use water as:

• A raw material
• A coolant
• A solvent
• A source of energy
• A source of pressure
• In domestic areas

A Water Use Efficiency Survey includes:

• An annual water consumption history
• A cost/benefit analysis for suggested water efficiency improvements
• An evaluation of all water using fixtures
• An analysis of your heating and cooling equipment
• An inspection of your irrigation system
• An allocation of water use within your facility
• A water budget for your business

The benefits of being water efficient go beyond saving money on your utility bills.  Conserving water may improve your property value, provide a greater competitive edge and public image and assist in protecting the Tampa Bay ecosystem.

Use our self-evaluation Water Use Checklists to help determine how your business or facility may benefit by conserving water.
