Water Management Guide For Facility Managers
Author: This guidebook was prepared by the Arizona Municipal Water Users Association Regional Water Conservation Committee with assistance from Black and Veatch.


The Facility Manager's Guide to Water Management encourages water conservation in the workplace by providing businesses and industrial water users with the basic tools for an in-house water conservation program.

Recognizing the wide variety of non-residential water users in the Valley and the differences among the non-residential water use sectors from city to city, these materials were designed to be applicable to nearly every type of non-residential user.

The materials are assembled in a handbook for non-residential facility managers, general managers, public information officers, and other personnel involved in water conservation and employee communication. The handbook contains information regarding the critical steps of developing and implementing a water conservation plan:

- Commitment of top management
- Understanding your water system
- Plan development
- Employee participation

A series of "how to" sheets and checklists, as well as water conservation messages and artwork for use in employee newsletters and other employee communications are also included. The three-ring binder allows individual cities to customize the information and materials to meet specific needs.

Call your city's water conservation office to obtain a customized copy of the guide in a three ring binder or a copy on CD, or download a copy here.
