SFO’s rigorous water conservation program has resulted in a
decline in total Airport water use by 14% since 2004. In 2010,
water use per passenger reached a new low of 12 gallons per
passenger, down from 16.6 gallons per passenger in 2006. This
steady decline in water use can be attributed to a number of
water efficiency measures that SFO has implemented, including: -
installing low-flow and sensor-operated restroom fixtures -
eliminating unnecessary hydrant flushing - replacing ageing and
leaking water distribution pipes |Water consumption per SFO
passenger has declined steadily in recent years. In 2010, per
passenger use was at 12 gallons, showing a 28% decline since
2004. Read more about SFO’s efforts to conserve water and
