No more wasted water
APRIL 08, 2016 | Consider wastewater. The name itself implies that it is of no use, it’s just waste. But in a water scarce environment, turning so-called wastewater – which includes grey water (from baths, kitchens and washing clothes) and black water (sewage) – into water we can use would be incredibly useful.Spier’s wastewater treatment plant does just that. It treats 100% of Spier’s wastewater using only environmentally friendly methodology, and the clean water is recycled and used to irrigate our garden and grounds.
