We get through rather a lot of water in a school this size, so we do our best to ensure it’s as fresh and clean as possible. Soon we’ll be looking at rainwater harvesting to save costs and ensure a regular supply. But in the meantime, we’ve moved our main tank – it had formerly sat on the school’s flat roof, prior to us building the third level and sloping roof.
Part of a very generous grant from the Welsh Government paid for a new concrete stand with tall legs, on which the 5,000 litre tank now sits and forms a water tower! It supplies water to our kitchen (which makes meals for over 400 people everyday), sinks and toilets.
