Over the course of 72 weeks in 72 buildings, SageWater completely replaced the potable water piping in this apartment community and converted an inefficient central boiler system to a modern configuration that uses individual water heaters and submeters in the 872 units. This “boiler conversion” enabled the property owner to make residents accountable for the costs of water consumption as well as the cost of heating potable water. The project paid for itself in fewer than four years.
