|
| |
Abstract: Miami Dade Water And Sewer Department (MDWASD) is implementing a 20-year water use efficiency plan for sustainable and healthy water resource management. As a part of this, showerhead rebate program initiated in October 2005. Water consumption trends for 248 residential customers (2.6 persons per customer) with one showerhead rebate issued in Miami municipality were analyzed. Average per capita water consumption for these customers was reduced from 99.23 to 92.42 and the total water savings accounts to 1.59 MGY from 2005 to 2008. Interestingly the percentage of water conserved by these customers after installing efficient showerheads is 6.86 from 2005 to 2008. |
