The Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District conducted a pilot
program focusing on saving water at Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs). The
primary goals of the SNF retrofit program were: to assist SNFs in retrofitting
existing plumbing devices with water-saving devices; and, to determine the
accuracy of water surveys conducted for SNFs and similar facilities. During
Phase I of the program, fifteen SNFs were selected and visited by the program
consultants who conducted full indoor/outdoor water use surveys for each of those
facilities. The participating SNFs were a mix of convalescent homes and institutions
for developmentally disabled adults. Based on survey results, a full report was
developed for each site discussing potential water saving actions (WSAs), estimated
water savings and payback times. Phase II of the program involved the installation
of all recommended water saving devices and an analysis of pre-retrofit and post-retrofit
water usage. Includes table, figures.
