Alpine Bank

Water usage was not normalized for weather. As shown in the figure below, Alpine Bank's water usage had increased annually between 2012 and 2014; however, between 2014 and 2015, Alpine Bank experienced an 8 percent decrease in water usage. This decrease can mostly be attributed to the water-efficiency measures at the following locations: Glenwood Springs, Downtown Grand Junction, Snowmass Village, Avon and Basalt. Alpine Bank continues to track its progress, assess its impacts, pursue water and energy-efficiency measures and encourage employee involvement to continually improve environmental performance and enhance the quality of life in the communities it serves. 2012-2015 Water Use (kGals) 10,000 9,000 8,000 7,000 2012 2013 2015 2014 12,000 11,000 Water Usage March – Alpine Bank inducted into the International Green Industry Hall of Fame.
