Grundfos Pumps to Halve Water Consumption at Fresno Facility
Posted on June 28, 2011 by — No Comments
Grundfos Pumps Corporation today announced that it will voluntarily cut in half the amount of potable water used to irrigate its 27-acre Fresno campus during 2011, with plans to eliminate the practice entirely by the end of 2012.
As a result, the global pumps and pumping systems manufacturer will save roughly 3 million gallons of potable water during 2011 - enough to fill four Olympic-sized swimming pools. In 2013, the facility plans for all campus irrigation to be supplied by reclaimed water.
To achieve a reduction of this scale, the company will redesign its entire campus master plan to utilize “water-wise” plant material; a new “smart” irrigation system; and water harvesting systems and techniques to replace existing potable water.
The aggressive plan bolsters existing sustainability programs already in place at the 180,000 square-foot manufacturing facility, including the addition of a seven-acre solar array, use of energy-efficient lighting, air compressors, pumps, fans and low-flow plumbing fixtures.
