This powerpoint presentation presents the Water Smart Home Program, created by the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA), to encourage promotion and
adoption of high-efficiency appliances,
plumbing fixtures and landscape designs
in new single-family residential
construction. The SNWA, in partnership with Southern
Nevada Homebuilders
Association, offers this program (the first of its kind) to certify for water efficiency, and estimates an annual savings of
75,000 gallons
for a home built over 10
years ago. Builder project requirements include: Single-family home or townhouses only;
complete neighborhood (sub-division);
common and pool areas must also qualify if provided;
individually metered by a member agency; and,
discharge all wastewater to a public sewer system. Program requirements are provided for
outdoor landscape design, irrigation system standards, and
swimming pools; indoor requirements are provided for
plumbing and fixtures,
appliances, and
air conditioning systems. Enclosed and marked sewer
cleanout, program enhancements for
homes completed by
January 1, 2009, the contract process, and the inspection process are all presented.
