WaterHub at Emory 5-Year Anniversary

On this day in 2015, the WaterHub at Emory began reclaiming up to 400,000 gallons of sewer water to use for utilities purposes each day, reducing the University’s total water use by almost 40%! Since then, thousands of visitors have toured the facility and millions of gallons of water have been reclaimed, reducing the burden on the municipal water treatment system. While you are not able to tour the WaterHub at the moment, you can read all about it in the recent AJC feature highlighting its innovative water reuse technology.
