False Bay Ecology park on the banks of Zeekoe Vlei in Cape Town gets thumbs up for sustainability. The center has installed several Water Rhapsody water conservation systems that will enable the building to operate independently of a municipal water supply
The centre harvests all the rain that falls on its roof and sends this water by gravity to the rainwater storage tanks. From here is it pumped back into the building as fresh water. The water that is used for showering and washing hands gets send to a Water Rhapsody grey water system where the water is treated and then reused to flush the numerous toilets in the building.
The sensitive ecosystem surrounding Ecology Park benefits greatly from the water conservation systems as the majority of the water is reused and significantly less water than usual is send to the sewer. By fitting these systems,False Bay Ecology Park is demonstrating its commitment to reducing wasteful water consumption habits and educating the surrounding community the value of this precious resource.
