MICROTECH Computer 841-9513 Dickinson Plaza Plan would cut KU water use The drought of 1988 heightened Kanans' awareness for the need to conserve water. As part of this increased awareness, Gov. Mike Hayden ordered all state agencies to submit a water conservation plan. Although the plan was acceptable to officials, it left a few questions unanswered. said St Tomis, directing resources for the Kansas Wider Office. "Overall, the plan was in really good shape." Stiles said, "but we suggested some revisions. We asked for more quantitative goals, such as what percentage water use would be cut (during drought conditions), and more detail on which water service plans are currently used." Rodger Orike, director of the University of Kansas Support Services, said that quantitative goals for water conservation had not been determined but that information on curricular conservation methods was unavailable. by Julie Rehm Kansan staff writer One measure recommended in the plan was the upgrading of the water distribution system on campus. Another problem with the water distribution system is the altitude of Mount Oread. The water pressure must be maintained at a high level to reach the upper floors of taller buildings. This can lead to stress on the water lines in buildings on lower areas of campus and can cause leaks. The water conservation plan also included suggestions for the installation of more efficient, underground irrigation systems to replace some of the portable watering systems now in use. Most of these are more efficient because they more evenly distribute water and the distribution can be timed. Another conservation measure within the plan is the installation of water evaporative cooling towers to replace less efficient, outdated coolers recently installed in the new cooling systems recently had been installed in Blake Hall. Improvements to the University's water distribution system are part of a package of capital improvements requests. Orok said. He estimated the cost of the water system upgrade to be $1.7 million. He said the capital improvements package was expected to go before the Kansas Legislature in fiscal year 1991 or 1992. Andy Hau, assistant director of electrical engineering, said one of the most effective ways individuals could be to eliminate air conditioning. "We are increasing these (underground watering systems) in number as funds become available in the landscape budget," Oroke said. Phase 1. Discontinue street and sidewalk washing. The KU water conservation plan includes a three-phase drought response plan. - Limit vehicle and equipment washing to three days per week. - Reduce landscape watering to subsistence levels. Parts of the system were installed in the early 1900s. Improvements to the system have not kept pace with campus growth. Distribute water conservation information on campus. 14. Eliminate landscape watering, except for major sports practice fields. Suspend vehicle and equipment washing. - Continue water conservation education and request public cooperation. **Phase II** - Air conditioning systems using chilled water to buildings where temperature control is needed for sensitive materials or equipment. - Relocate summer session classes to buildings that must maintain adequate airflow. - Reduce use of student laundry facilities to one day per week. Adjust air conditioner systems in chilled water cooling systems to the temperature with endangerment materials or materials in the buildings. - Reduce use of student laundry facilities to one day per week. - Eliminate all outside watering. The conservation plan states that KU uses 6.9 percent of the Lawrence water supply. The plan states that drought response activity will parallel Lawrence conservation activity. However, Oroke said it was possible that Gov Hayden could ask the University to take such conservation measures before the city of Lawrence would be required to do so.
