HUN i9 pku 485 <br />RECOMMENDED "WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES" FOR USERS OF <br />THE CITY OF SANFORD WATER SYSTEM JULY 30, 2003 <br />HOSPITAL AND HEALTH CARE FACILITY USE <br />• Reduce laundry usage or services by changing bed linens, etc. only when necessary to <br />preserve the health of patients or residents, or as required by healthcare rules and <br />regulations. <br />• Use disposable food service items. <br />• Eliminate, postpone, or reduce, as may be appropriate, elective surgical procedures <br />during the period of emergency. <br />INDUSTRIAL USE <br />• Identify and repair all leaky fixtures and water-using equipment. Give special <br />attention to equipment connected directly to waterlines, such as processing <br />machines, steam-using machines, washing machines, water-cooled air <br />conditioners, and furnaces. <br />• Ensure that valves that control water flows are shut off completely when the <br />water-using cycle is not engaged. <br />• Adjust water-using equipment to use the minimum amount of water required to <br />achieve its stated purpose. <br />• Shorten rinse cycles for laundry machines as much as possible; implement lower <br />water levels wherever possible. <br />• For processing, cooling and other uses, either re-use water or use water from <br />sources that would not adversely affect public water supplies. <br />• Advise employees, students, patients, customers, and other users not to flush <br />toilets after every use. Install toilet tank displacement inserts; place flow <br />restrictors in showerheads and faucets; close down automatic flushes overnight. <br />• Install automatic flushing valves to use as little water as possible or to cycle at <br />longer intervals. <br />• Place water-saving posters and literature where employees, students, patients, <br />customers. etc. will have access to them. <br />• Check meters on a frequent basis to determine consumptive patterns. <br />• Review usage patterns to see where other savings can be made. <br />7/15/03 <br />NORTH CAROLINA, i EF. cnuZ <br />Pr se t•A for ragbtrakn on thelza day <br />20,03 aQ-,:0C1 ;c:1/P <br />recorde a BFag2-5-Of 5Page , V <br />Nellie W.
