Design of the Gozo Pilot Project Compiled by Manuel Sapiano, Joe Portelli Presented by Joe Portelli 3rd Steering Committe, Grand Hotel, Mgarr, Gozo WSC Water Supply Network – Gozo Discreet Water Supply Zones Master meters define the inflow to each zone High infiltration of Automated Meter Management Technology (data from household meters will eliminate real losses – leakages) Breakdown of Water Consumption in the Home Average Water Consumption (Maltese Islands): 135ltr/cap/day App. 7ltr are used for drinking and cooking, the remaining 128ltrs are used for various washing activities. Of these 90ltrs are used for toilet flushing, washing ourselves and washing dishes. Shower (31% of household consumption) Increased efficiency: Water Efficient Showerhead On-Off Switch Flow Reducer Awareness raising: Flowmeter Bag Shower Timer Toilet Flushing (24% of household consumption) Increased efficiency: Toilet Flushing Displacement Bag Taps (10% of household consumption) Increased efficiency: Kitchen Swivel Aerator Kitchen Aerator (5.7lpm) Bathroom Aerator (1.9lpm) Flow Reducer Awareness raising: Flowmeter Bag The distribution of the different kits will enable an assessment of the water saving impact of the different water saving devices. Kits designed as to target the three main water using activities: • showers • toilet flushing • taps Different Kit Typologies for different localities Flow Toilet Local Households Shower Meter On/Off Flow Disp Aerator Aerator Show Swivel Council 2012 (est) Timer Bag Switch Restrictor Bag Low High Head Aerator Fontana 342 Ghajnsielem 912 Gharb 443 Ghasri 180 Kercem 611 Munxar 404 Nadur 1629 Qala 639 Rabat 2331 San Lawrenz 232 Sannat 646 Xaghra 1487 Xewkija 1163 Zebbug 772 Uptake of devices by households (the number of households who actually fix the water saving device) will be determined through: • household surveys (satisfaction with water saving kits); • assessment of actual water saving data at household level.
