Saving Energy by Saving Water
• Savings potential surprising, substantial
• Quicker, cheaper and more reliable results than most potential strategies
• Only environmental impacts are positive

Perspective:
• In five minutes, a hot water faucet uses as much energy as a 60-watt bulb uses in 14 hours.

Municipal water/sewer plant energy use
• U.S. annual total* = 75 billion kilowatt hours per year
• 3% of total U.S. consumption of electricity
• Equal to entire residential electricity demand of California
• More than entire energy-intensive pulp/paper and petroleum sectors combined
• Public bill = Already $4B/yr. Increasing.
Sources: US EPA, Alliance toSave Energy, Pacific Institute & NRDC* 60,000 drinking water treatment plants +

• Energy used for pumping water uphill and between basins
• Any commercial or industrial use of energy to pump, treat, heat and cool water
• Any agricultural energy use to pump water
• Etc…
Public water treatment + residential water heating = about 180 billion

We estimate total current U.S. water-related energy use to be at least 300 billion kWh per year.*
* Includes energy other than electricity in approximate kWh

Easily achievable water use reductions could allow us to
• Retire hundreds of dirty power plants much sooner
• Give us cleaner, healthier air to breathe
• Significantly advance overall effort to reduce greenhouse gas reductions
• Keep much more water in streams and lakes where it belongs

Supply-side emphasis
Revenue – Expenses = Margin
“Must sell more water to generate more revenue!”

Demand-side emphasis
Revenue – Expenses = Margin
“It’s at least as good to reduce demand as it is to increase supply!”

Efficiency = Getting more performance out of every drop used
• No hardship at all
• Saves resources and money
• Payback periods quick
• Tremendous existing potential

Homes
• Toilets
• Faucets
• Showerheads
• Washing machines
• Dishwashers
• Hot water heaters*
* Tankless models save little or no water, but save a lot of energy

EPA Labeling Program
• Helps consumers ensure they are buying high-performing water-efficient devices
• Perform as well or better than water-wasting devices
• http://epa.gov/watersense/

Businesses & Institutions
• Efficiency potential usually as great or greater than residential
• Payback periods faster (because multiple users)
• Financing easier

Advancing Efficiency
• Education
• Standards

• Phase-outs
• Incentives
• Retrofit programs (utility-sponsored)

Efficiency potential(above and beyond conservation potential)
• U.S. Water efficiency potential: At least 25% (conservative estimate)
• Could achieve half this potential in next 10 years, most of rest in next 15
• So, with conservation and efficiency, we could reduce our urban water use by 35% or more within 25 years

Some day we will all have easy access to treated drinking water and 1-2 other sources of water...

Many home systems for rainwater harvest
• Small to large scale
• Simple to very sophisticated

Seattle’s King Center
• 1600 employees
• Rainwater harvesting meets >60% of entire facility’s water needs
• Saves >1.4 million gallons of drinking water per year
• Also keeps runoff from entering storm sewers

San Antonio wastewaterrecycling
• Already has large-scale reuse program
• Primarily commercial and industrial purposes today, served by 80 miles of delivery pipeline
• Source is cheaper and more reliable
• Already reducing demand on Edwards Aquifer and region’s rivers by 29 million gallons per day

San Antonio wastewaterrecycling program
• City committed in 1996 to major expansion
• Now building a 64-mile pipeline around entire city for broader delivery
• Also capturing gases in the process and generating power with it

So, we can easily imagine that some day we will all have easy access to treated drinking water and 1-2 other sources of water.
How would we use it?

• Drinking, cooking and bathing account for less than 1/3 of indoor residential water use
• Almost all other uses could be met as well with captured rainwater or other sources– Other residential– All outdoor– Most industrial
