This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) and its Water Efficient Technologies
Program (W.E.T.). The W.E.T. Program is designed to encourage capital improvements that
can result in saving at least 500,000 gallons per year, provides an
incentive of up to $150,000 per property, and offers
two Program Tracks that include:
Menu Item - select from a list of pre-approved
technologies with assigned incentive values; and,
performance-based - for custom conservation
solutions (rebate contingent on performance). The status of the Cooling Towers Program is presented, along with Conclusions:
SNWA's efforts to facilitate improvements in the water
efficiency of cooling towers appears to be successful;
for those properties partnering with SNWA, CR has
gone from 2.22 up to 3.45 (an improvement of 1.23);
this represents an annual savings of approximately
673,760 gallons for each 100 tons of cooling capacity;
for the average facility visited, this equates to an
average savings of 17,718,414 gallons annually; and,
this is a 45% savings in blow-down water. Includes tables, figures.
