Greyter Water Systems Selected By Public Schools

Public Schools

School Boards everywhere are looking to reduce environmental footprints within publicly funded schools, making them better places for students to learn and succeed in the future. Water is an important part of this initiative because the average school uses approximately 80,000 liters (22,000 gallons) of water per day. Therefore, school boards have recognized that the way they manages water can both reduce water expenses while at the same time have a significant impact on their region’s watershed.

This is one of the reasons why Greyter Water Systems’ water recycling technology was selected to be included in the Ontario Green Schools program and installed in seven schools across the province.

Greyter Solution

An example of a recent installation is the Greyter Water Systems solution installed at St. Cecilia Catholic Elementary School. This is a combination Greywater Recycling and Rainwater Harvesting system that is used to supply water for both toilet flushing and irrigation. The design called for two separate yet integrated systems that provide the most intelligent use of available reclaimed water and maximum efficiency based upon availability of water and usage patterns. Greywater is collected from hand sinks and water fountains in the central group of washrooms in the school while rainwater is collected from the main roof section of the building and stored in tanks separate from the greywater storage tank.
