Now, rebates can be as high as 75%, making WaterSmart projects more cost-effective than ever. Ice Machine Replacement at the Mayan Restaurant By replacing a water-cooled model with an air-cooled ice machine, the Mayan is saving approximately 219,000 gallons of water a year and about $1,781 in annual utility bill charges. Restaurants, hotels, and other facilities with water-cooled ice machines are eligible for similar savings. Sterilizer Retrofits at Providence St. Peter Hospital As part of a concerted effort in 2001 to increase efficiencies, the Hospital replaced vacuum pumps on four sterilizers. The project resulted in an annual water savings of 1,576,800 gallons, contributing to substantial savings on sewer and water utility fees. The Hospital received a rebate for $22,674. This WaterSmart project helped the Hospital cut operating expenses and their use of resources, in keeping with one of the organization s core values to serve as a good steward of the environment.
