Calgary Transit And The Environment (Bus Wash Water Recycling Initiative)

Bus Wash Water Recycling

Reducing the consumption of water in our bus wash is one of the initiatives Calgary Transit has taken to minimize the use of our natural resources. Calgary Transit installed a bus wash at its Springs Garden facility that recycles the wastewater.

Using water recycling technology, solids are removed from the wastewater by a centrifuge. This system allows approximately 95% of the wastewater to be recycled, resulting in annual water savings of approximately 2.2 million liters.
