Water consumption reductions under this strategy would result from more efficient 
water use strategies in existing and new uses. The measures and actions identified in 
this strategy would provide residents, businesses, and municipal operators effective 
ways to reduce water consumption. In total, waste and water accounted for three percent of the City’s total emissions in 2012. This strategy achieves emissions reductions by 
reducing the energy needed to supply, treat, and deliver water. The implementation 
of the one measure and two actions under this strategy would reduce the City’s 
GHG emissions by approximately 200 MTCO2e by 2030. Table 3-8 outlines the 
framework for this strategy.
