LOGISTICS, A I RADINESS DIVISION 8-207225 MAY I41982 The Honorable Frank R. Wolf House of Representatives Dear Mr. Wolf: 118347 Subject: Federal Water Conservation in the Metropolitan Washington Area (GAO/PLRD-82-78) In March 1982, you asked us to review and report on suggestions by one of your constituents on ways to conserve water and reduce water costs to the Federal Government in the Metropolitan Washington area. On April 15, 1982, we briefed your Office on the preliminary results of our work. As a result of that briefing, your Office asked us to pro- vide you a written report on the information we had gathered. We obtained our information from files of the General Services Administration's (GSA's) National Capital Region and through conversations with appropriate regional office offi- cials. We did not verify the information. GSA shares your constituent's concern over water con- servation. In 1978 GSA established a water conservation program which reduced GSA's water consumption from 5.2 billion gallons in 1977 to 4.6 billion gallons in 1980 (a 12.5-percent reduction). More pertinent, GSA's National Capital Region reduced its consumption from 2.6 billion gallons in 1977 to 1.7 billion gallons in 1981 (a 32-percent reduction). To reduce water consumption in the National Capital Region, GSA has undertaken a variety of water conservation measures, including: --Replacing worn spigots. --Installing water conserving devices, such as self- closing spigots and automatic cooling tower bleed offs. --Recirculating fountain water.
