Water Conservation

Water is a scarce resource in the Rocky Mountain West. Water usage in guest rooms, in hotel operations, and for irrigation purposes amount to millions of gallons per year. Our efforts to date have reduced our water usage on a year to year basis by 4,640,000 gallons. The following steps were taken to accomplish this reduction goal: Guest rooms were outfitted with low flow shower heads and toilettes. Practices and procedures in our laundry facility resulted in maximizing washer loads and thus reducing water usage. Daily water usage logs result in faster recognition of water loss through leaks or other faulty equipment, and creates awareness of high water usage in general. An audit of our outdoor irrigation practices resulted in a rebuild of our flower box irrigation system and in better control of other irrigation areas.
