The new facility is predicted to fulfill Boone’s water needs for the next 20 to 30 years…
“The facility should increase our water intake to seven million gallons a day,” Miller said.
“A leaky toilet can waste more than 500 gallons of water a month,” Gimlin said. “We are one of the only countries in the world that flushes their toilets with drinkable water.”
