Transcript of Shana Blumenthal David Lach Chris Graham Sarah Auer

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Most of CV’s unsustainable practices are a result of either malfunctioning or outdated equipment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
