(From American School & University) Expected to reduce potable water use on campus by as much as 90%, the “One Water” campus in Wimberley, Texas has set a standard for managing limited water resources. One Water, according to the Texas Living Waters Project, is a collaborative facility planning and operational approach that incorporates rainwater and HVAC condensate collection together with wastewater treatment and reuse. Wastewater will be collected and treated onsite to be used for irrigation throughout the grounds of the school. The PreK-Grade 2 school will be the first One Water campus in Texas and will accommodate about 800 students. As more schools drive toward the goal of reducing energy consumption, rethinking traditional methods of wastewater treatment will be top of mind for facilities leaders.
