    Sent via email to Bill Towson at [email protected] on December 10, 2018. TO: Georgia Department of Community Affairs, 2018 International Plumbing Code Task Force DATE: December 10, 2018 RE: Georgia State Minimum Standard Plumbing Code on Plumbing Fixture Water Efficiency Dear Department of Community Affairs, As a steadfast advocate for sustainable building practices and responsible resource use, Southface recognizes the importance of advancing water efficiency standards in Georgia. We write to express our strong support of the proposed amendment to the 2018 International Plumbing Code (IPC) submitted by the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District (MNGWPD) on October 30, 2018. Given currently available technologies, MNGWPD’s recommendations are reasonable advancements in water efficiency standards, and it is our understanding that the resulting water, energy, and financial savings will be significant. The proposed further-reduced flow rates for showerheads, (private) lavatory faucets, and kitchen faucets will save consumers money and continue to conserve our state’s limited water resources. As Georgia’s population continues to grow, conserving water will be of increasing importance to our economy and quality of life. In addition, saving water is vitally important to Georgia’s efforts to conserve energy. Energy generated by power plants across the state is used to clean, treat, and distribute water to our homes and businesses. Electricity and gas are used to heat water in our homes and businesses for everyday use. As described in Attachment C of the Code Amendment Form submitted by MNGWPD there will be significant financial savings to home and business owners as a result of the reduced energy and water use achieved.

Smith, A-Z Animals and Cochran Mill Nature Center Lisa Weinstein, Turner Foundation Karan Wood, Captain Planet Foundation Purpose of this Report In 2005, the Wildlife Resources Division of Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) with various partner agencies and organizations completed a comprehensive statewide plan for conserving Georgia’s wildlife. The best available data on the distribution and abundance of wildlife in the state was used to create this conservation strategy, now referred to as the State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP). It examined the extent and condition of habitats required by these species and threats to these habitats, as well as addressed research and survey needs, habitat restoration needs and monitoring needs.
