Tootell Aquatics Center
The URI Aquatics Center previously had pools open to the atmosphere when not in use after hours. Automatic pool covers were installed. Savings generated by this measure equated to approx. 560,000 gallons of water and over 7,000,000 lbs of steam. A reduction of chemicals for water
treatment are also anticipated due to the reduced evaporation component.
