Western White House Turns Green with Innovative On-Site Treatment System

President Bush's 1500 acre Ranch is located near Crawford, Texas about 30 minutes west of Waco . This project provided for some very unique and challenging design considerations. Design had to be done on-site system that can survive with the input of a single caretaker, yet automatically ramp up to handle a party of 50, without missing a beat.

The challenge was to design a system that could sustain itself, despite the uncertain immediate future. This is the permanent residence of the Bushes, and incorporated into the design of the home are many unique ìEnvironmentally Friendlyî features.

Aside from the Grey and Black Water Recycling and Irrigation Systems, the home features Geothermal Heating, Active and Passive Solar Energy, and a rainwater collection system with a 40,000 gallon underground cistern.
