1 California Urban Water Conservation Council March 1, 2011 1

2 Consultant Needs California CII water use volumes by NAICS or sector California Case studies California CII contacts (trade organizations, industrial experts, etc.) TF input and information Data from California DWR EPA, etc. and other sources (consultants will need to make in contacts) 2

3 2009 State Water Plan February 2008, Governor calls for 20% reduction in per-capita urban water use by 2020 To reach this target, all water users, including the CII sector will need to do their part CII water use in California estimated to be approximately one-third of total water use in the State’s urban areas 3

4 Urban Water Uses (California) 4 CII Sectors

5 Landscape Irrigation 33% Industry & Other 31% Cooling Towers 15% Restrooms 15% Commercial Kitchens 6% CII Water Use by Application - California Source: Natural Resources Defense Council 5

6 Process Water Use by Industry - California Source: Pacific Institute, 2003, “Waste Not, Want Not” 6

7 Water Use by CII End Use - California Total Acre Feet Source: Pacific Institute, 2003, “Waste Not, Want Not” 7

8 Potential CII Savings - California Source: NRDC, 2009, “Making Every Drop Work” 8

9 Example: EBMUD Guidebook Source: EBMUD, 2010, “The WaterSmart Guidebook: A Water Use Efficiency Plan and Review Guide for New Businesses” 9

10 BMP Development Commercial – Institutional Matrix or Technologies Approach Similar format to EBMUD Guide Industrial – Manufacturing More descriptive format for specific industries, but would contain a technologies section for commonly found processes such as cooling towers, boilers etc. 10

11 Similar BMP Efforts – Past & Present Texas (2004) New Mexico (1999) North Carolina (2009) U.S. EPA – WaterSense Program (2011) 11

12 U.S. EPA WaterSense Program Development of Comm’l-Institutional BMPs No industrial Work now underway 32 categories Commercial food service equipment (10) Plumbing (4) Building systems (3) Landscape & irrigation (2) Education & management (2) Medical & laboratory (2) Alternate water sources Other (8) 12

13 Example BMP from WaterSense Best Management Practices for Boiler/Steam Systems Operations and Maintenance Options Obtain the services of a water treatment specialist to prevent system scale and corrosion and to optimize cycles of concentration. Treatment programs should include periodic checks of boiler water chemistry.

14 Outline for Report Commercial & Institutional Brief description of water using sector in California Estimate of water use by sector (where available from existing sources) Description of how water is used by use technology 14

15 Outline for Report (cont’d) Commercial & Institutional Matrix of technologies associated with CI sector Technology BMPs Technology description Technology best practices to save water Discussion of potential water savings per operation Potential cost differences Recommended BMP’s 15

16 Outline for Report Industrial Overall discussion of industrial sector Major water industries addressed Industry-specific information How water is used by sector Description of industry specific BMP’s Reference to technology section for common water using technologies (boilers, cooling tower, water treatment, etc.) Summary of BMP’s and recommendations 16

17 A Look At Alternate Sources There is significant opportunity to use both recycled water and water collected from on-site sources. Within the context of a BMP for CII, the focus should be on how can the CII water user evaluate the viability of these sources. This will be covered in a chapter on Alternate Sources of Water. It will include information on both recycled municipal wastewater and on-site sources ranging from rainwater harvesting, to use of air conditioning condensate, to complete on-site recycling. 17

18 Specific Legislative Points Evaluation of public infrastructure necessary for delivery of recycled water to the CII sectors. Evaluation of institutional and economic barriers to increased recycled water use within the commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors. 18

19 Difficulties Evaluating Recycled Water Lack of a central repository of information about recycled water infrastructure No one set of economic values for a state with such a variation in water costs TF members input critical for input regarding case studies and other background data to assist in answering that section of the Legislation. 19

20 A Look At Alternate Sources Outline Description of Possible Sources Information on Water Quantity & Quality Considerations What the CII user should know to evaluate the potential Sources of Information and Assistance 20

21 Many different approaches… …by type of end use application Manufacturing Other Education & Govt Retail & Office Hospitality & Recreation Transportation 21

22 Many different approaches… …by process application Laundry, Rinsing & Cleaning Manufacturing Alternate Sources of Water Commercial Food Service Medical & Health Care, Laboratories Building Systems 22

23 Industrial Sectors Fruit & Vegetables Fabricated MetalBeverages Dairy & Meat Processing Textiles Electronics 23 Metal Plating Petroleum Refining Other?

24 NAICS Industrial Sectors. 24

25 Water-Using Manufacturing Processes Cleaning and sanitation Water treatment Thermodynamic processes Transportation and cleaning of food products Equipment cleaning Container cleaning Lubricating can and bottle conveyor belts Can and bottle warming and cooling Product ingredients 19

26 Commercial Example: Food Waste Disposal Options available Description of water use by each options Possible energy or environmental considerations? Potential water savings BMP recommendations 26

28 Q – What’s Next? A – Information!! Water use & water savings data By facility type OR process type Measured water preferred vs. engineering estimates Previous CII water use audits (e.g., MWD, EBMUD, others) Water-efficient technologies & practices 21 st century – advanced & proven Non-proprietary Other authoritative information sources TF members Other individuals & organizations Web-based resources 28
