Roseville Water Park Uses Filtering System To Conserve During Drought
ROSEVILLE (CBS13) — Golfland Sunsplash officials say they have a plan to conserve water during the fourth year of California's drought.
Hundreds of thousands of gallons of water snake through the attractions in Roseville every season.
"We don't use as much water as people think because everything is recycled," said general manager Steve Rodgers.
The park is conserving water by using a sophisticated filter system that keeps the water clean for two weeks. Instead of recycling fresh water up to six times a day like most water parks, Sunsplash only needs to change it out every two weeks.
"It doesn't take long to add up. A lot of water going down the drain," he said.
Rodgers also had drip systems installed for plants, grass and shrubs around the park. Instead of washing down the walkways, maintenance crews are required to spot clean instead.
"We use about 600,000 gallons a day, but golf courses most of them use recycled water but they use 1 million gallons a day to sprinkle the grass," he said.
