The focus of the ICI (Industrial, Commercial, Institutional) Committee is to promote water conservation within the business community. Recent projects include the development of an ICI self audit tool to identify conservation potential and tools for implementation. The first phase of a benchmarking project developed average water use for four sectors, using actual billing and building data from six Front Range cities. The sectors include: Restaurants Schools Hotel/motels Nursing home/assisted living facilities Future projects include expanding the benchmarking to additional sectors, coordinating workshops and trainings to promote use of the self audit tool, and providing up-to-date resources about commercial technologies.Members of the committee help to direct the focus of the above projects, develop new committee projects, assist in gathering water use benchmark data, and seek grant funding to further the goals of the committee.
