Dallas Water Utlities Industrial, Commercial, And Institutional Water Conservation Program

Water Conservation remains an essential element of Dallas’ long-range water supply strategy. Plummer assisted the Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional (ICI) Program to help businesses save water and money by identifying opportunities to increase water use efficiency and to reduce water, wastewater, and associated energy costs.  At no cost to the business, we provide a free water efficiency assessment that includes a review of historical water consumption, development of a complete water balance, process mapping, inspection and evaluation of all water using equipment, specific recommendations for efficiency improvements and a thorough cost/benefit analysis.

DWU uses this analysis to provide rebates for qualifying water efficiency projects.  Rebates for the lesser of 50% of the installed project cost or a maximum of $100,000 per project are available to DWU General Class customers on a first come, first served basis.  The purpose of the program is to promote continued investments in water efficiency by reducing the overall project payback period by as much as 50%.

The Plummer Water and Energy Efficiency Services (WEES) team has assisted the DWU ICI Water Conservation Program since 2012.  To date, Plummer has conducted water efficiency assessments of more than 300 buildings and identified potential savings in excess of 150 million gallons per year.
