Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
Total water use | --- | 25,658,500 Gallons |
Potable water use:
Performance Year | Baseline Year | |
Potable water use | 32,422,400 Gallons | 25,658,500 Gallons |
Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):
Start Date | End Date | |
Performance Year | Jan. 1, 2012 | Dec. 31, 2012 |
Baseline Year | Jan. 1, 2008 | Dec. 31, 2008 |
If end date of the baseline year/period is 2004 or earlier, provide:
2007 was the last year JCCC added a significant amount of square footage to campus (NMOCA and RC). Thus, 2008-2012 allows us to compare directly while controlling for gross square feet of building space.

A brief description of the institution's water recovery and reuse initiatives:
In addition to rainwater reclamation for non-potable use in Galileo's Pavilion, rainwater is harvested and stored in two cisterns for use by our horticultural program.
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace plumbing fixtures, fittings, appliances, equipment, and systems with water-efficient alternatives (e.g. building retrofits):
Over the course of calendar year 2011 JCCC installed ultra low-flow bathroom fixtures (ultra low-flow toilets and ultra low-flow urinals) in a majority of restrooms across campus. The campus bathroom sinks have also all been outfitted with low-flow aerators to conserve water.
