Water Towers: Texas

Läs om vattentornet – Ebers vattentorn – Cirkulation nr 2/2015.
Vattentorn innehåller normalt dricksvatten, men i Texas huvudstad Austin finns sedan 2010 ett vattentorn på 7 500 m³ som innehåller återvunnet vatten och är det första av sju planerade torn. Det återvunna vattnet består av renat avloppsvatten som annars skulle ha runnit ut i den närliggande floden. Detta sekundärvatten kan användas för bevattning, kylning och i industrin.
På torntaket sker insamling av regnvatten, där också 48 solpaneler genererar el. Austin ligger i Texas inland och får under 100 mm regn per år. Det är alltid förnuftigt att hushålla med sina begränsade tillgångar.

The tower holds circa 7 500 m³ and is the first of seven planned in Austin Water’s growing reclaimed water system.
Reclaimed water is created by reusing treated wastewater effluent that is normally discharged to the Colorado River.
Austin Water uses reclaimed water for non-drinking purposes, such as irrigation, cooling and manufacturing.
Architecturally unique design, rainwater collection panels on the roof; 48 solar panels to create electricity; drought-tolerant landscape.
