"Great findings Keith! My favorite was using the RO reject stream for cooling tower make up water. Big financial savings and over 3 million gallons of water saved will certainly impact your WUR in a positive way. It would be great to see this prioritized out of the list since WUR is the metric that has seen the worst upward trend. Silver Spring team, let us know if you need support with this."
