What Water Can Learn from Energy Sector’s Efficiency Programs
From the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA):
“This week [Dec. 19] the Pacific Institute released a new report that explores how California could become more water efficient by taking a page from the energy sector’s programs and regulations.
“The report’s recommendations include more robust and longer-term water savings targets; state-level efficiency codes and standards for toilets, showerheads and other water fixtures; tiered pricing structures and differentiated water rates that vary according to the time of day or season of the year; and state- and local-level adoption of a ‘loading order’ for water.”
