Waterless Urinal: Preserving a Precious Resource on Campus

Company Website

California State University at Northridge (CSUN) is one of California’s largest universities. With 36,000 students and 4,000 faculty members, it uses a lot more water than some other universities in the state.
 
For instance, Stanford and UC Berkeley use about 2 to 3 million gallons of water (gpd) per day, while CSUN uses close to 4 million gpd.
 
“Our [poor] water performance requires us to come up with a strategy,” says the school’s Dr. Mechelle Best. “We have to start selecting water-saving technologies.”
 
The school has a number of options they are considering, but one they have already begun is transferring from water-using urinals to no-flush urinals from Waterless Co.
 
The Waterless system not only saves precious water, but its EcoTrap trap/cylinder is one of the longest lasting and least expensive in the industry. This helps turn water savings into a cost savings as well.
