Students should apply project management concepts to develop a project charter, project progress reports, and a project management plan for Potable Water Management. See project details below.

1. Project Description:

Water Management Plans help facilities set long- and short-term water conservation goals. Evergreen Brick Works requires a Potable Water Management Plan. The plan must provide information about current water uses as well as course of actions for water efficiency improvements, conservation activities, and water-reduction goals. A strategic plan establishes the priorities and helps the site allocate funding for water-efficiency projects that provides the biggest impact. Consultation, training and educational programs are part of the plan.

Project Objectives:

• To identify potable water uses
• To measure water consumption
• To implement water conservation strategies
• To find efficiencies
• To develop educational and training programs
• Bench marking and reporting

2. Major In-Scope and Out of Scope items/details:

Out of scope:

Storm water management

3. High Level Project Cost:

• Cost of consultant
• Sub metering cost
• Staff time
• Cost of initiatives such as changing faucets, etc.

4. Expected duration of the project in months/years, if it is going to be executed and time line/;

It is expected the in-scope parts of the project start no later than April 2019, to be completed and implemented by end of 2019.

5. Major Assumptions, constraints and threats:

Water meter data may not be usable yet, not enough sub metering is in place

6. Major Stakeholders/sponsors/champions:

• Evergreen Facility Management
• City of Toronto

8. Any operating procedures, policies and service level agreements:

• There is one main city potable water meter for the entire site that is installed in 2017
• There are a few submitters
• Rain water is being collected on site that can be used for landscaping, pressure washing and other needs that can be met by non-potable rain water from the roof surfaces
• Cooling tower in the LEED Platinum building (Building 12) uses primarily rain water and it uses potable water when rain water is not available
• The washrooms in Building 12 and Building 16 uses rain water for flushing and when rain water is not available they use potable water, there is submitter to measure the amount of rainwater used
• There are waterless urinals in Building 12 as well as high efficiency faucets and floshometers on toilets

9. Market/competitors?
