User Education and Facility Outreach
Outreach to Visitors and Audiences Outside the Facility
Consider the following when looking to
broaden the outreach of your facility’s water-
efficiency efforts:
••
Work with local utilities to participate in
their commercial and institutional water
conservation programs and to share suc-
cess stories with other facilities.
••
Create displays presenting facility water
savings for the facility lobby and other
public reception areas.
••
Use signage, brochures, and other promo-
tional materials to inform visitors, custom-
ers, and others about the facility’s water-
efficiency program and actions people can
take in restrooms or other areas to save
water.
