In June 2008, in the wake of an extreme multiyear drought, the decision was made to install a rainwater collection tank in Yarbrough Drive Thermal Plant. The water collected in this 1,000 gallon tank is used for cooling tower make-up. Cooling towers require huge amounts of water in order to do their job, much of which is lost into the atmosphere as condensate. Instead of purchasing additional potable water, rainwater is collected in this tank from the roof of the plant and then pumped back into the cooling towers. In the month since its installation, this system has collected and made up, and thus avoided the purchase of thousands of gallons of water.
