Tulsa Community College WMI designed and implemented a variety of measures for the College to include: Sustainability initiatives including rain gardens, rainwater harvesting, and solar thermal measures, non-domestic kitchen equipment optimization including the installation of high efficiency dishwashers, ice machines, and pre-rinse sprayers, cooling tower sub-metering, and domestic fixture replacement/retrofits with low flow fixtures.
Chicago Oases Tollways WMI was contracted to complete a domestic plumbing retrofit program at seven Oases Illinois toll ways throughout Chicago, IL. The restrooms at the toll ways service roughly 30,000 visitors every day and account for over 48 million gallons in annual water use. 273 toilets and 105 urinals were converted to low flush and replaced sensor valves with manual flush valves. The result was a savings in excess of 50%. The actual savings significantly exceeded the calculated savings.
The University of Texas at Austin started the process of gathering information on how to update the main campus irrigation system in 2008. Water Management Inc. was responsible for the development and management of a large water conservation program for over 120 Education and General facility buildings and seven Athletics facilities on the Main Campus and Pickle Research Campus.
Texas Wesleyan University WMI completed water use assessment of campus grounds. The evaluation process included an investment grade audit of all water using equipment and processes, measurements of water consumption used by the existing equipment, analysis of historical water use, and knowledge of facility demographics.
Hershey Medical Center WMI completed water use assessment of the medical facility's grounds. Upon completion of an investment grade audit, WMI concluded that on average, 20% of the steam traps were malfunctioning. This meant that 629 steam traps in the facility would benefit from the steam trap replacement program.
Museum of Modern Art WMI completed water use assessment of the Museum. The evaluation process included an investment grade audit of all water using equipment and processes, measurements of water consumption used by the existing equipment, analysis of historical water use, and knowledge of facility demographics.WMI recommended an innovative approach to ground water reuse.
Fort Worth Zoo WMI completed water use assessment of zoo grounds. Many innovative water reuse options were recommended by WMI staff. In addition, irrigation system retrofits were suggested to account for millions of gallons of potentially saved water.

Prisons
Elkton Federal Correctional Facility Water Management, Inc. was brought in by the Federal Correctional Institute in Elkton, Ohio to investigate a significant increase in the sewer bills received by FCI, Elkton from their fiscal year, 2004. The increase coincided with a change in the sewer monitoring equipment, changed out by Columbiana County in late 2003. Learn about the strategy implemented to remove this cost for the Prison.

Anderson County Officials in Anderson County, Tennessee were looking for innovative, sustainable measures to reduce their energy and water consumption while continuing to provide residents with a high quality of service. Water Management, Inc. (WMI) partnered with Johnson Controls to provide the County with a comprehensive water and energy project which would not only increase operational efficiency and sustainability, but also have a minimal payback period.
City of Honolulu Water Management, Inc.’s (WMI) reputation as a leading water conservation company led the City to subcontract WMI to find unique ways to decrease the annual water expense of several government buildings. WMI proposed sub-metering the city's cooling tower supply and blow-down lines, allowing them to eliminate the sewer charge on water lost to drift and evaporation. This reduced the charge for tower water from $10.10 to $2.36 per thousand gallons – a considerable savings.

Pacific Beacon Case Study WMI designed and implemented a variety of measures for the College to include: Sustainability initiatives including rain gardens, rainwater harvesting, and solar thermal measures, non-domestic kitchen equipment optimization including the installation of high efficiency dishwashers, ice machines, and pre-rinse sprayers, cooling tower sub-metering, and domestic fixture replacement/retrofits with low flow fixtures.
Brookside Case Study WMI installed new AMR submeters for each garden-style building in this community. These meters added a nominal cost to the project, but have since provided 100% water accountability, full audit control, and eventually the data may be able to be used to decrease the sewer charges from the City.
