Bus Wash & Water Recycling

When a need for a new bus washing system was identified, the work went out that the city was looking for a new system that uses less water. The city's 700 buses, all subject to Calgary's weather conditions, are washed regularly and it takes liters of water to keep them clean. A bus washing system provided by Westmatic, recycles 95% of the wastewater. This new system saves the city 2.2 million liters of water every year by using a centrifuge to remove solids from the wastewater so that it can be used again and again.
