The changing landscape of water: How to save on hotel water demands and expensesGunster attorneys Luna Phillips, Beth Ross, and Lauren Shumate co-authored a discussion regarding hotel water expenses in a recent article featured in Hotel Executive. They offer a variety of suggestions on how hotels and resorts can be more mindful of their demanding water expenses.

According to the article, careful crafting of new utility service agreement terms, understanding existing contract terms, as well as learning about the hotel water provider's underlying water rights will help favorably secure a hotel's water budget. In addition to the discussion on potable supplies, the authors also discuss irrigation water supplies and the benefits it can bring. By evaluating specific hotel and resort water supply information, one can better identify the most suitable approach to cut costs, find cost-partners, and secure water rights.
