Christus Santa Rosa Hospital - New Braunfels has invested in a new water harvesting system at its hospital campus that should save more than 875,000 gallons of water annually.
The hospital implemented a new heating, ventilation and air conditioning system that includes 12 new air handling units with efficient cooling coils. In addition, the system has eight water harvesting tanks that can capture 220 gallons each to be used for the hospital’s cooling tower.
“As water resources continue to be a scare commodity, we continually strive to be good stewards of our community,” says Jim D. Wesson, vice president and administrator at the New Braunfels hospital.
Since Christus Santa Rosa Health Care purchased the New Braunfels hospital — formerly McKenna Memorial Hospital — in February 2008, the health system has invested nearly $4 million in new services and equipment.
Christus Santa Rosa Health Care is a Catholic faith-based, nonprofit health and wellness ministry. The system has four hospitals in the San Antonio area.

I would like to see communities focus on making greywater reclamation and use mandatory, especially for commercial and government facilities. We waste most of our fresh water on making lawns green, and using greywater is a simple, energy- and cost-efficient way to help solve our water problems.
