School Water Systems Pose a Risk. Stimulus Funds can Help.

by Jennifer A. Caldwell

The Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations and American Rescue Plan Acts provide millions in ESSER II and ESSER III funding. The funding is distributed by the U.S. Department of Education directly to state education agencies (SEAs), which is then allocated to school districts, also known as local education agencies (LEAs).

These funds provide an unprecedented opportunity to get much-needed repairs and improvements to your school building’s equipment and operations as well as improve indoor air quality, ultimately safeguarding the learning environment now and into the future.

A school district’s biggest expense after payroll is its utility bill. Did you know your building’s water system not only impacts water usage, but also HVAC (heating & cooling) system costs which require water to operate? 

The key to optimizing your water system is actual data from the water in your school buildings. Most water treatment programs check a facilities’ water health once a month.  In today’s environment, that is just not acceptable.   

That is why Aquanomix, a leader in innovative water management, created the Symphony™ software suite.  Our software characterizes your water system’s risks in real-time by providing you the finite detail of your water system, giving you immediate knowledge on the ever-changing condition of your building.

Being able to access data remotely at any time allows your schools to immediately address precursors to harmful diseases in your water and factors which impact the operation and life cycle of your systems. These insights allow you to make swift and intelligent decisions to improve water health, sustain asset life cycle, and reduce operational costs.

WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT BENEFITS:

Maximize efficiency for energy and cost savings

Reduce exposure to harmful waterborne bacteria, like Legionella

Extend the life of water cooling and heating assets

Prevent unforeseen maintenance and expenses

Let us help you save money and improve your building’s learning environment. The right water system upgrades can help balance immediate reopening efforts and continuing resiliency for school district operations.
