Rainwater tanks to keep grounds green at EA Networks Centre
Published: 5 November 2020
Sizzling temperatures this summer won't keep the EA Networks Centre from looking its best thanks to a newly installed irrigation system that will be fed with rainwater captured from its vast roof.
The centre has two rainwater tanks carrying a combined 60,000 litres of water ready to be applied around the grounds and gardens to keep the space looking shipshape.
The irrigation system has been getting installed through October and is close to completion ahead of summer.
Once finished, the water harvesting capacity will be increased to 85,000 litres.
