Water Conservation
Water Conservation
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, 35 states are pumping groundwater from regional aquifers faster than they are being replenished. This increased demand is making water a very precious commodity, which will result in higher prices. Since 1994, water prices and treatment costs have risen an average of 23.6%, increasing at twice the Consumer Price Index since 1987.
Government bodies and real estate investors are seeking new creative ways to help lower water and waste-water utility expenses. By evaluating water usage, Cost Containment can determine the potential savings and provide strategies to reduce water consumption and help customers save dollars. Cost Containment's customized water conservation packages are tailored specifically for our customers needs. We design the projects, manage the suppliers, oversee the installation, and arrange the project financing. After the installation is complete, operations and maintenance personnel are trained accordingly and analyses and system monitoring are provided periodically.
Here is a step by step process on how customized water conservation investments work:
