THE REWARDS OF RECYCLING - Tanks A lot made a name for itself in wastewater recycling

摘要

The Tanks A Lot story begins with a southern California drought and a Marine Corps contract. Tom Sutherland and his father, Lawrence "Larry" Sutherland, had a chain of radiator and A/C shops in Orange County in the early 1970s, when the area experienced a severe drought. The local fire department began visiting radiator shops telling them they were using too much water, so Tanks A Lot started building holding tanks to re-use water. "This division started in water recovery," says Tom Sutherland.
