Re: Typical Apartments
Water Conservation Savings Estimate
Dear John:
Per your request, Aqua-Tech,
Inc. has completed an Estimated Savings Projection for Typical Apartments.
Our report and proposal is the result of information obtained from
our Water Audit and review of water bills provided. We are pleased
to report our findings.
The
annual tenant water and sewer costs for the property can be reduced
by approximately $18,000 and have a payback in approximately 12.7
months (and with the cash program-approximately 11.5 months), WHICH
INCREASES THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY BY APPROXIMATELY $180,000, -and
if you choose, with NO CAPITAL EXPENDITURE. Additionally
there will be significant savings relative to energy, as you will
now have less water to heat.
This proposal includes replacing
(1) all showers with our Prismere showerheads, (2) all bath sinks
aerators with our "waterfall" aerators, (3) kitchen sinks
aerators with our "waterfall" aerators, (4) all toilet
flappers with our Adjustable 5Year flapper, PLUS (5) leak repairs
outside the walls relative to showers, tub diverters and faucets.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
1. Currently your residents are using 16,542,496 gallons of water
per year, primarily within apartments in the sinks, showers and
toilets. We base this figure on actual flow rates measured during
our audit, and on actual sewer/water bills that were supplied us.
2. Current Flow Rates:
(a) Existing toilets average 4.8 gallons per flush. With our patented
water saving toilet flappers, that would be reduced to 4.0 gallons,
a savings of approximately .8 gallons a flush.
(b) Existing showerheads average 4.1 gallons of water flow per minute.
With our Oyster shower head, that would be reduced to 2.5 gallons,
a savings of 1.6 gallons per minute.
(c) Existing kitchen sinks average 2.3 gallons of water flow per
minute. Our low flow bathroom sink aerator would reduce that to
2.0 gallons, a savings of approximately .3 gallons/minute.
(d) Existing bathroom sinks average 2.4 gallons of water flow per
minute. Our low flow bathroom sink aerator would reduce that to
1.5 gallons, a savings of approximately .9 gallons/minute.
3. At the current published water/sewer
utility rate of $3.54 per 1000 gallons for water and sewer, this
represents an annual bill for resident's water/sewer of $58,560.44.
4. If the recommended flow control
devices were installed throughout the property, water consumption
would drop to about 11,505,600 gallons a year, realizing an annual
savings of $17,830.61. The flow control devices are installed in
existing plumbing, and carry a full 5-year warranty.
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Aqua-Tech, Inc. proposes to
supply and install the following water savings devices in each unit
at Typical Apartments .
(a) "Waterfall" low flow kitchen sink aerators (457)
(b) "Waterfall" low flow bathroom sink aerators (537)
(c) Prismere adjustable shower heads (537)
(d) Adjustable Toilet control devices (537)
SHARED SAVINGS
Under our shared savings plan, Aqua-Tech
will pay for all materials and labor to install equipment at your
property. We will then share the savings achieved by comparing last
year's bill with the corresponding month this year under the plan
you choose from the following two (2) alternatives.
(1) Aqua-Tech retains 100% of
the actual savings, payable from savings only, until we are
paid the below stated purchase price in full. Once we are paid,
100% of the savings then inures to your benefit.
(2) Pay the 10% cash discounted purchase price at time of installation. |
*Note: The first two (2) months are
billed per the estimated savings, as these normally involve partial
installation months, and delayed water and sewer authority billings.
These billings will be adjusted to reflect the actual savings commencing
month three.
Total purchase price for the 457
apartments is $18,901 under option (1) shared savings plan, or $17,010
under option (2) cash program, plus applicable sales tax. Based
upon Shared Savings projection, total payback will be achieved in
approximately 12.7 months, and under the cash program, the payback
is projected to be approximately 11.5 months.
UNDER OPTION (1) THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE PREPAID AT ANY TIME BY A
PAYMENT OF 90% OF THE OUTSTANDING BALANCE.
CONCLUSION
Installation of the recommended flow control devices will save Typical
Apartments about $17,830.61 per year, based upon your current water/sewer
rates. Aqua-Tech crews will
perform the installation in a fast and efficient manner - approximately
75 apartments per day. Additionally, we shall report any leaks
and plumbing problems to property management as a FREE added service.
| You may consider this our formal
price quote. We appreciate this opportunity to submit this proposal
and look forward to achieving the savings immediately. |
Repair service (included)
Aqua-Tech, upon authorization,
shall repair all "outside of wall" leaks, and replace
missing plumbing parts and equipment. The labor cost of said repairs
is INCLUDED in the above proposal price. You may supply the parts,
or we shall supply same and charge you at actual cost. Repair Parts,
if any, supplied by us, shall be due and payable upon completion
of installation.
Very truly yours,
Martin A. Berns
National Marketing Manager
| Note: Our projections are normally
quite conservative and history shows that savings benefits to
our clients are normally greater and quicker than shown. ADDITIONALLY,
you will enjoy significant energy savings, as you will be heating
substantially less water..resulting in an even quicker payback
time. |
