Emory Water Hub (ATL)
The WaterHub at Emory is a water recycling system that uses eco-engineering processes to clean waste water for future non-potable uses like flushing toilets.
By 2025, Emory plans to reduce water use by 50 percent, including eliminating drinking water use for heating, cooling, toilet-flushing and other non-potable uses.
The WaterHub is a critical part of meeting this goal.
