Water
In 2021, water consumption was down by 3% from the baseline, and over the last 5 years nearly water use was nearly 40 million gallons less on average per year.. Long-term, reductions from the Departments of Human Services and Department of Corrections reduced water consumption for the enterprise.
Goal
Reduce water consumption 15% by 2025 relative to a 2017 adjusted baseline.
Accomplishments
Reductions from 2020 to 2021 were largely a result of reduced water consumption at the Department of Corrections because of a reduced incarcerated population and improvements to infrastructure at St. Cloud Correctional Facility.
The Department of Administration continued installations of low-flow fixtures at the Capitol Complex.
Barriers
More than 50% of our water is used in processes like treating water and hatching fish, and these process require large investments to reduce water use.
Nearly 30% of water use is at 24 hour facilities with resident populations and the size of the populations served largely dictates who much water is used.
Baseline
1.87 billion gallons
Current Value
1.81 billion gallons
