A brief description of the source of non-potable water and how it is used:

Purdue has two large cisterns approximately 1000 gallons. One is located at the south corner of the Materials & Electrical Engineering building and one under the southeast stairs at Duncan Annex (EE) which is used to collect “once-through” cooling water from DX air conditioning units in the surrounding buildings. Those cisterns are also connected to the irrigation system on Purdue Mall.
