Helping Your Business Save Water — and Money
Rising water costs and ageing municipal infrastructure present challenges for businesses. Water efficiency upgrades can help your organization reduce its process and wastewater footprint to maximize environmental benefits and minimize costs incurred.
Partners in Project Green is developing resources and strategies to help businesses in the Greater Toronto Area discover and successfully implement water stewardship projects in their facilities. We are supported by the Region of Peel, York Region, and the City of Toronto and connected to a wide range of water efficiency experts and technology providers.
Currently, PPG is supporting local municipalities in promoting water efficiency programs for businesses. These programs are offered to businesses by the municipalities, with incentives available to help lower the capital costs required to implement water efficient upgrades.
From February 2017 to December 2018, Partners in Project Green established a Municipal Eco-Cluster working group focused on water efficiency, funded by Independent Electricity System Operator’s (IESO) Education and Capacity Building Program V4.0 funding mandate. Below is a Summary Report on this program.
