Question: Has grey water (purple pipe) helped with the water bill?
Answer: Reuse Water, or treated wastewater, which is commonly referred to as purple pipe water, from the City of Hinesville's Off-Post Water Reclamation Facility is used for irrigation of the Taylor's Creek Golf Course, for industrial uses at the FS Central Energy Plant and for vehicle/equipment washing at Bldg 1330 and Bldg 1265 washracks. Purple pipe has also been routed to the Marne View Housing development and upon BBC's connection (Balfour Beaty is projected to connect the purple pipe line to their irrigation system at the beginning of CY14), will be the primary irrigation sourcce for that housing area. All this said, Reuse Water has helped us achieve water conservation goals mandated by Executive Order 13514 and since 2012, we've saved approximately 192MG of potable water through Reuse Water.
