Water Conservation

Water conservation measures have been implemented to St. John's Queens campus. Some of these measure include:

  • Fitting water restricting shower heads and facuets     in the bathrooms of the Residence Village.
  • Having front loading washing machines in the laundry facilities.
  • The water used to irrigate campus is taken from an artesian well.
  • We meter and monitor the water consumption on campus through  the NYC Department of   Environmental Protection.
  • Through St. John's organic soils management planning we brew and spray our own compost tea, which reduces the need to frequently water our grounds.
