"Water wasn't really a priority to us,"

When America is nothing more than a ruinous wasteland, this attitude will be mocked by history.

Shut up, troll.

How in the fark?

Seriously?

Shannon Butler seems to have ignored basic editing.

Oh, the homely manatees!

/nothing. i has it.

It seems to me they could route the chilled water back into the usage stream if the pipes are clean enough. Hell, they could route wastewater and sewage between the walls and use that to chill the building on its way out the door.

/How many of those practice fields are sport-turf?

"Water wasn't really a priority to us," Kosmac said. "Its not presently a very expensive resource. We were looking more at the big ticket items and that was energy and that's the one we have been focused on."

Man, that guy needs a cawkpunch.

Wouldn't it be ironic if this guy ends up drowning in a toilet in the blue wing (upstairs near the water fountain) in the boy's room?

/not subby

it just fell through the cracks? WTF? was the guy actually making an attempt at being punny? 3 times the water usage of sea-freaking-world and it "fell through the cracks"

god bless america

That reminds me, I'm bored and should go drain my swimming pool and refill it before they declare a drought here.

/or have they already?

Last year in January alone the school used a million gallons of water. Break that down about more than 43,000 gallons a day. The average household uses 176 gallons a day.

Fail.

They must have a leak.

BUt, TEH CHILDREN!

Well duh...high school sports are the single most important thing in certain parts of the world.

Well that explains the drought and water restrictions we're under.....

What household uses 176 gallons of water a day? How many showers are people taking?

How is that person at all a troll? They have a very valid point.

Reporters with 1st grade Writing skills. Make articles, hard To read.

How in the holy hell do you use that much water? Must be hard to teach class when all the students are bobbing around in life vests trying to stay afloat.

"Water wasn't really a priority to us," Kosmac said. "Its not presently a very expensive resource. We were looking more at the big ticket items and that was energy and that's the one we have been focused on."

So, you were going to wait until water reaches $1.00/gallon before doing anything about the waste? Geez! We needed a level 4 drought alert before our schools were forced to reduce water usage (meaning fixing the leaky pipes on their property).

Mr. Kosmac is sailing on the FAILBOAT headed for teh EPIC FAIL!

Isn't Florida's aquifer supposedly nearly empty?

Get it? Lake Mary high school.

It's just to wash away the semen from all the teacher-student sex that seems to go on in Florida.

The average household uses 176 gallons of water a day, between showers, flushing toilets, dishes, laundry, washing hands, teeth brushing, etc.

If they install low-flow toilets, will it affect the quality of the "swirlies" being given?

With 6 practice fields it added up, add that with the couple thousand student flushing to toilet and washing their hands,

Bullshiat. Teenagers don't wash their hands.

I saved 150 gallons by filling my hot tub up with women instead of water.

Your HTML is showing.

They have to fill their bongs with something.

I love it when my alma mater makes the news

Six practice fields? My HS had ONE, and it was not even owned by the school, it was technically part of a Toronto city park. Nevermind we didn't even have a football team...

/went to a ghetto school
//turned out OK, I think

I think most of the usage is related to their popular "Making meth for fun and profit" course.

Obviously you haven't seen it in other threads. It is a textbook case of concern troll.

Good lord, that article is so full of grammatical errors, I think I'm stupider for having read it...see, I just said stupider.

That must be one hell of a basement meth lab.

I suppose the liberal tree-hugger hippie contingent would prefer that their reactor just overheat all the time? Idiots.

Sharkface217: Bongwater?

Actually seems the school is MUCH more efficient than the private sector.Given that 43,000/176 gives 244.3 housholds worth of consumption. Lets be generous and round up and say the average family is 5 people (mom, dad, 2.5 kids).

The school has a daily consumption on par with 1221 people.

Considering that many students shower once or twice a day at school, and once at home (once after PE, once after a sport) and that many schools cook 1-2 out of every 3 meals for the students, this does not seem too bad.

Now lets consider the fact that most likely more than 1221 people occupy this building in a given day, and that does not account for the public resources many schools provide such as open fields and public spaces and possibly a pool.

and possibly a pool.

Don't let the virtual water Nazi's hear about this.

assclowns.

FTFA:

With 6 practice fields it added up, add that with the couple thousand student flushing to toilet and washing their hands, then mix in the energy saving air-conditioning system that uses a lot of water to keep the rooms cool and you have a whole lot of water begin used.

I have never fancied myself as a grammar and spelling expert but dammit...

Your lack of question mark is showing.

Since Georgia and Florida have been haggling over water
I should send this to Sonny

Um.. Seaworld has a water-reclamation program. They do things like filter the water in the tanks and re-use it, as opposed to a school which is using it to fill toilets, showers and water grass.

Gordon Bennett: I think most of the usage is related to their popular "Making meth for fun and profit" course.

It's a good class. The instructor is cool.

Damn kids with their bathroom breaks and sanitation issues. Just piss in the corner like the rest of us. I am pretty sure more people go to the school then visit sea world.

If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown but a text book over it.

That's not trolling, that's an obvious statement. Okay, it might be an exaggeration to say the whole country will be a "ruinous wasteland" anytime soon, but much of the south and west will certainly be short on water.

Amazingly, the same people who spent years wasting water making their suburban desert yards look like golf courses will be whining about the high price of water, just like the people who drive gas guzzlers and commute 50 miles each way to work are now complaining about the price of gas. I'm not sure which parts of "finite resource" and "supply and demand" people fail to understand.

The good news is we'll still have the Great Lakes, the largest supply of fresh water in the world. It will be funny to see the Rust Belt become a boom area once again. It might even have nice mild winters by then, too!

Atharaenea: Bullshiat. Teenagers don't wash their hands.

At a bathroom stop at a run-down convenience store on a high school band trip, a friend of mine didn't wash his hands after peeing. When somebody asked him why, he said, "I figured my penis was cleaner than that sink." It was pretty tough to argue with that logic.
