The Tanks have Arrived
Friends: Yesterday was an incredible day on site. At 11:00am our three beautiful tanks, fresh off the factory line in Sacramento from American Tank Company, were delivered to our site.
We have 14000 gallons of storage capacity at the site. Each tank will get fed from three different roof levels and will purpose three different funtions: toilet feed and roof irrigation for our vegetative roof.
The tanks are absolutely beautiful--and as soon as they came to the site and were placed, the image of the ecocenter was sinched. The marriage between our tanks and the building has been made!
Water Independence is a beautiful thing to behold.
