Water Efficiency

Though it may seem abundant, water, particularly rain water, is a precious natural resource that can easily be harnessed and recycled to avoid having to use treated drinking water for such things as landscaping, flushing toilets and running the washing machine. Our skilled craftsmen and women have installed numerous systems to channel water in an effort to reduce overall water use.

United Association of Plumbers and Steamfitters (UA) Local 290
There are several methods in which to utilize rainwater for everyday tasks. Members of UA Local 290 have installed several different rainwater reclamation systems that use the water to flush toilets and run washing machines where regular treated water is not necessary. This practice reduces the dependence on water treatment facilities, saving energy and city resources.

Rather than using traditional concrete or asphalt, building sites now have the option to use pervious concrete to allow rain water to soak into the soil, rather than be wasted by running into storm drains.
