Track and record monthly consumption of potable and non-potable water used for cooling tower makeup. This will require submetering capability for all cooling tower make-up water.
Be prepared to demonstrate that onsite building staff who are responsible for daily water tower maintenance receive appropriate training, as this is often overlooked.
Implement a preventive maintenance plan to inspect and maintain cooling tower controls. An effective plan will address the water management plan of the project building in question. Do not submit a water management plan that addresses another building, or that is too general and does not address the specifics of the project building.
A narrative describing the conductivity meters, automatic controls, and the setpoints installed on each cooling tower must be included with your documentation. Be sure to include details about specific target concentration rations for each system.
Calibrate meters per the manufacturer’s recommendations, and maintain calibration records. (If the meters are owned by a utility or other third party, you are not required to track this.)
