The Town of Cary is supporting the EPA's "H2Otel Challenge" encouraging area hotels to assess their water use and savings opportunities. This includes changing products and processes to improve efficiencies and tracking tracking these efficiencies with Aquastar. The Town partnered with Waste Reduction Partners, a state program, to engage a team of highly experienced staff and volunteer retired engineers, architects and scientists to provide businesses and institutions with waste and energy reduction assessments and technical assistance. Over 30 local hotel managers participated in the program. On July 7, Waste Reduction Partners kicked off the program by conducting an evaluation of the first hotel to accept the challenge.
