Description
The City of Lakeland is conducting a pre-rinse spray valve replacement and conservation education program for the
City's food service industry. The program will focus on replacing high water use spray valves utilized to clean food
from dishes, utensils, and pots and pans. The FY2008 project targets water customers in the food service industry to
replace spray valves in 300 locations at no cost to the water customer. Conventional pre-rinse spray valves utilize
from 2.65 to 4.0 gallons per minute and can be responsible for up to fifty percent of food service industry total dish
washing water use. Water efficient pre-rinse spray nozzles use approximately 1.6 gallons per minute. The "Potable
Water Conservation Best Management Practices for the Tampa Bay Region Report" (Tampa Bay Water, 2003)
identifies the use of water-efficient pre-rinse spray valves as a best management practice in Industrial, Commercial
and Institutional facilities (ICI).
Benefits
The total estimated water savings is 60,000 gallons of potable water per day or 21.9 million gallons per year.
Costs
The total project cost is $45,000. The breakdown of District funding is: Peace River Basin Board - $15,750,
Hillsborough River Basin Board - $4,500 and the Alafia River Basin Board - $2,250. The City of Lakeland's share is 50
percent, or $22,500. The cost benefit for this project, using the total cost amortized over 5 years at 8% interest, is
$0.50 per 1000 gallons of water.
