Sentral and San Francisco-based water reuse technology company
Epic Cleantec (“Epic”) today announced that two onsite greywater
reuse systems operated by Epic Cleantec in San Francisco are fully
operational in two Sentral-managed multifamily buildings: Chorus at
the intersection of Hayes Valley, SoMa and the Mission
neighborhoods, and The Landing in the Dogpatch neighborhood. The

flushing, cooling towers, and irrigation to significantly reduce
water usage in both buildings.

Chorus, home to the City Ballet and Chorus Hall, is a
467,000-square-foot luxury apartment building pursuing LEED Gold
certification for its energy-efficient design, including onsite
water reuse and use of locally sourced material. The Landing is a
308,000-square-foot multifamily apartment building featuring smart
home technology that incorporates sustainable features such as
Tesla sharing.
San Francisco is leading the nation in implementing onsite water
reuse technologies to help conserve water and fortify the city
against ongoing drought. New developments of 100,000 square feet or
more are now required to install and operate onsite water reuse
systems, which help reduce building operating costs and
future-proof against rising utility rates and water shortages. In
November 2022, Epic Cleantec unveiled the city’s first approved and
operational onsite water reuse system at a 40-story high-rise
apartment building in downtown San Francisco.
“Onsite water reuse is not just a sustainability initiative:
it's a vital component of responsible urban development, especially
in a water-stressed city like San Francisco,” said Roman Speron,
Chief Development Officer at Sentral. “Sentral is now the first
multifamily management company with two active and approved onsite
greywater reuse systems in the city. Through our partnership with
Epic Cleantec, we are not only alleviating strain on municipal
water supplies but also fostering a culture of environmental
stewardship across our communities.”
“We are working with pioneering partners like Sentral to
catalyze a movement toward more efficient, environmentally
conscious water usage within the heart of our built environment,”
said Aaron Tartakovsky, Co-Founder and CEO of Epic Cleantec. “By
harnessing innovation and technology, we are empowering building
owners and operators to play an active role in shaping a more
sustainable, water-resilient urban landscape.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Sentral building management and
Epic Cleantec, activating new water recycling systems at two more
multifamily buildings in San Francisco. This expands the City's
diversified water recycling portfolio while setting the example for
sustainable real estate development in San Francisco,” said Paula
Kehoe, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Director of Water
Resources and Chair of the National Blue Ribbon Commission for
Onsite Non-potable Water Systems. “Increasing and maximizing the
use of recycled water in buildings and facilities demonstrates San
Francisco's global leadership and stewardship to use water
efficiently. We applaud our partners for taking a leadership role
in environmentally responsible development.”
