So why not a reservoir?
 Lavon Lake, the main reservoir for North Texas, sits at
less than half of its designed capacity
 Other lake reservoirs continue to decrease water levels
 North Texas' Lake Ralph Hall will not even be able to
provide 1/10th of water needed by 2060 and will not be
able to supply water until 2025
 Residents’ water rates would increase by more than half to
pay for it
 State water planners envision 26 future reservoir projects
costing $14 billion combined
Landscaping
 Our team of Blue Revolution experts will evaluate the
landscaping of homeowners and recommend a best practice
for water conservation
 Many sources of vegetation only need minimal amounts of
water to survive
 Zoysia palisades grass - only needs watering once a week in the
summertime
 Fort Bliss National Cemetery - cut water usage by 90 percent or 56
million gallons
 Homes with access to alternative sources of irrigation water
can reduce their water bills significantly

Greywater
 Water that comes from your bath, dishwasher, laundry, and any sink
without a garbage-disposal can be used for landscape irrigation
 Nutrients in greywater will fertilize landscaping naturally and maintain a
healthy yard without the manual spreading of fertilizer
 A system be designed to pump the treated water into the landscaping as
groundwater and be irrigated from underneath the landscaping
 Greywater treatment is done with aerobic pre-treatment or anaerobic
pre-treatment
 Having a greywater system would allow residents to irrigate yards more
often and not have to follow the scheduled watering times that are set
for their cities or counties.
HOAs
 Blue Revolution would like to partner with Home
Owners Associations throughout the DFW area and
implement our water saving appliances in order to
reduce water waste, and improve the current drought
situation.
 By partnering with HOAs in DFW, other communities
will recognize that certain neighborhoods are doing
their part to conserve.
Restaurants
 DFW is booming with restaurants, meaning much of the
water consumption comes from that industry.
 Blue Revolution can help bring water saving products into
restaurants in the DFW area.
 Hobart Corporation provides many commercial dishwashers
that restaurants can utilize.
