Salesforce Tower's whirring wastewater treatment system is operating again. That means it's back to having enough sewage, and people, in the building to keep its light on.
If you're looking for signs that San Francisco’s tech workers have returned to the office, look no further than the basement of Salesforce Tower, where after three long years, the company has finally switched on the building’s whirring wastewater treatment system.
Though just a few parking spaces wide, the blackwater system, installed shortly before COVID sent tech workers home indefinitely, is one of the largest in a commercial building in the United States. It can treat an estimated 30,000 gallons of water per day. But unlike greywater, a byproduct of sinks, showers and washing machines, blackwater is sourced directly from toilets and urinals.
“We see San Francisco as our home, and with the water recycling system in our HQ we’re helping address climate change and, specifically, water consumption given our region’s propensity towards drought in new innovative ways,” said Amanda von Almen, head of emissions reduction at Salesforce.
