A brief description of the plan of action to achieve water use reduction goals:
Elon's Sustainability Master Plan includes recommendations (which have since been treated as sub-goals/objectives) in the area of water conservation, which address water use reduction. The Sustainability Policy also includes goals to reduce water use under stormwater management and water use. Elon has replaced numerous plumbing fixtures with high-efficiency fixtures, uses non-potable water for most irrigation needs and installs high-efficiency fixtures in new facilities. Opportunities to expand water use reduction efforts continue to be investigated.
