    Tap into Champlain

    Producing bottled water uses vast amounts of energy and resources and creates millions of pounds of waste. Here in 足彩胜负14场, we are fortunate that Lake Champlain provides us with clean, healthy drinking water (which is far less expensive than bottled water). Most buildings at Champlain have water fountains or water refill stations.

     

  • Stop the leak!

    A leaky faucet can waste over 200 gallons of water a year! Put in a Facilities Request work order if you find a leak.

  • Keep Your Showers Short

    If you reduced your daily shower time by just 1 minute, you could save 900 gallons of water per year. By reducing time in the shower, you¡¯ll conserve both water and energy to heat the water.

  • Brushing Break

    Do not leave the faucet running while brushing your teeth, shaving or doing dishes. You can save up to 64 cups of clean drinkable water just by turning off the tap while brushing.
