Utilities may offer rebates for the use of non-potable cooling tower makeup water.
Utilities may provide and maintain submeters that can also be used to deduct cooling tower water consumption from sewage bills.
If you own the submeters, ensure that they are calibrated within the specified manufacturer’s interval, and keep calibration and maintenance logs.
Install and maintain submeters to track the amounts of potable and non-potable water used for cooling tower makeup.
Available sources include but are not limited to the following:
Consider the volume of water that is available from non-potable sources compared to demand for the cooling tower and the cost and logistics of reconfiguring current systems.
Non-potable water can be used as cooling tower makeup water if it has been treated to an appropriate quality to eliminate the introduction of biological contaminants. One of the biggest concerns surrounding the use of non-potable water is the increased risk of fouling.
Retrofit or maintain each onsite cooling tower to use makeup water consisting of at least 50% non-potable water.
