Retrofitting Programs <br /> Education and incentive programs aimed at replacing inefficient plumbing fixtures and appliances can <br /> help reduce per capita water use, as well as energy costs. It is recommended that municipal water <br /> suppliers develop a long-term plan to retrofit public buildings with water efficient plumbing fixtures and <br /> appliances. Some water suppliers have developed partnerships with organizations having similar <br /> conservation goals, such as electric or gas suppliers, to develop cooperative rebate and retrofit <br /> programs. <br /> 31 <br /> 76 <br />
