Exterior fire sprinkler systems help to prevent damage to buildings from wildfires by wetting combustible materials on and around the building. WaterSprout designed & installed a system which draws water from the 40,000 gallon pool to supply eight roof mounted sprinklers. In addition two fire hose stand pipes are installed for users to combat hot-spots. The system can be remotely activated using a phone app or web browser. WaterSprout also installed a rainwater system with 13,600 gallons of storage. Architect | Gast Architects
We Support Access to Clean Water For All
June 22, 2022
There are many organizations doing great work with water these days. One organization we are inspired by is DigDeep, a nonprofit dedicated to providing clean water to every American. Their Navajo Water Project is providing safe, clean drinking water to homes in Navajo Nation, where 30% of families live without running water. WaterSprout will be donating 2% of our 2022 profits to DigDeep and their ongoing efforts. The Navajo Water Project
Napa Valley Winery
October 6, 2021
A Napa Valley Winery was interested in reducing their water footprint so WaterSprout created and implemented a plan to intercept existing site drainage. The system collects and filters rainwater from over 16,000 sq ft. of roof and hardscape areas prior to storage in the existing irrigation water tanks and is estimated to collect and use 340,000 gallons annually. Drought and climate change have taxed the groundwater basins in Northern California’s winemaking region. We believe the best strategy for maintaining groundwater sustainability and long term health of the wine industry is to capture rainwater for irrigation usage.

Educational Outreach – Bar Architects
October 23, 2020
As population continues to increase in California, our water supply remains finite. Are you aware that certain cities and counties like Marin and Los Angeles are now mandating dual plumbing for water reuse systems? Are you curious how to keep costs low when installing non-potable water systems for “greywater ready” city ordinances? We recently had an opportunity to discuss these new developments and some simple solutions with one of our past collaborators on the Alameda Warehouse Project, Bar Architects. The firm graciously hosted us for a socially distanced yet highly effective Zoom presentation with both their San Francisco and LA […]
Agrihood, santa clara
July 29, 2020
Have you ever heard of an agrihood? An agrihood is an organized community that integrates agriculture into a residential neighborhood. In this type of neighborhood, agriculture isn’t just an amenity, it’s a way of life. The purpose of these communities is to facilitate food production while at the same time providing recreation for members of the community. We are happy to announce the Agrihood project in Santa Clara is on the boards! The project boasts to be an opportunity to revive Santa Clara’s proud agricultural heritage while delivering critical below-market rate housing for seniors and other groups struggling to stay […]

WaterSprout is making history by installing a Commercial Rainwater System for the first synagogue in the United States to become a net zero energy building. The 500,000 gallon rainwater storage system will be located underneath the parking garage of the new Kol Emeth synagogue in Palo Alto. Kol Emeth, a traditional, egalitarian Conservative synagogue will be one of only two synagogues achieving the certification of LEED Platinum. The building design is adapted to reflect contemporary expressions of faith and identity, which incorporates environmental beliefs in conservation and sustainability. We want to extend a thank you to our friends, GLS Landscape/Architecture […]
Jordan Downs Commercial Greywater System
