School Water AuditWater Audit Options for SchoolsThis audit enables you to find out how much water your school uses in total, which are thebiggest water use areas in the school, how much water these areas actually use, and whatreductions in consumption are possible.The information you get from this audit will allow you to prioritise the areas of the schoolon which to focus and decide how to work with these areas.The two mains types of water audits are; an initial investigatory audit or a full waterconservation audit and report.The decision about which level of auditing to take will depend on your school’s watercharges and how your local authority charges you for water, as well as other factors suchas the size, age, and location of your school.Water audit generally should at least:• Identify the sources of water at your school• Identify areas of consumption and quantities of water used• Identify potential areas of improvement• Predict reductions in water consumption• Predict related cost savings for example, reductions in electricity costs for waterheating.The first report is based on observations made during a brief walk-through audit and areview of historical costs from past rates notices, as well as initiating preliminarydiscussions with your local government about their charging methods for waterconsumption. This report should include improved water saving work practices discussedwith key school personnel such as ground staff, the janitor and teachers.The second report is a more technical and detailed quantitative report which providesspecific advice for your school. The report would be comprehensive enough to justifydecisions made in relation to most water-saving strategies. The report would contain acost-benefit analysis as well as estimates of payback periods for recommended watersavingmeasures. Areas requiring further design work would be identified and your schoolcould then decide if such additional work was required.A water conservation audit at your school should focus primarily on key areas of waterconsumption where real opportunities exist to reduce water use.43
