Partnered with the City of Cape Town to develop a system whereby the facility would use only recycled water. Typically, treated wastewater in Cape Town and other coastal cities is discharged into the ocean. But by returning treated water to the Epping industrial area, LS&Co. and neighboring businesses could tap a reliable alternative to local freshwater.Over the past two years, nearly two kilometers of piping have been laid from a municipal treatment plant on the coastline to Epping, where LS&Co.�s own treatment plant readied the reused water to meet 100 percent of the factory�s manufacturing needs. The pipeline is in final testing stages now; once it�s operational, Epping�s manufacturing will completely decouple itself from Cape Town�s freshwater supply. This will help augment local water supplies and put the city in a better position to withstand any future water crises.
