Grundfos Pumps to halve water consumption for irrigation at Fresno facility


FRESNO, CALIF.— Grundfos Pumps Corporation will voluntarily cut in half the amount of potable water used to irrigate its 27-acre campus here during 2011, with plans to eliminate the practice entirely by the end of 2012. As a result, the global pumps and pumping systems manufacturer will save roughly three million gallons (11,300 cubic meters) of potable water during 2011, enough to fill four Olympic- sized swimming pools. The facility plans for all campus irrigation to be supplied by reclaimed water by 2013. “Water is one of the most precious

resources in the San Joaquin Valley, therefore, conservation is crucial to the region’s economic prosperity and sustainability,” said David Mortensen, senior vice president of finance and quality manager for Grundfos. “The reduction of the amount of water


used by the Grundfos Fresno facility increases the amount of water that is available for use by the local community.”


Grundfos Pumps Corporation will redesign its entire Fresno campus master plan, including landscaping, in order to meet its goal of eliminating the use of potable water for irrigation by the end of 2012.
