Summary of the project
Because of its highly rural location, 't Hof Bellewaerde has to deal with many restrictions in terms of water and electricity. Based on their sustainability vision, they want to make a virtue of necessity. There is no possibility to connect to the sewage system and the drinking water network, so the waste water is purified and maximum use is made of local water reuse. Wastewater is collected separately and then purified via an innovative 'phytoparking' and used as toilet flushing water. In a later phase, the gray water (slightly polluted waste water) will be processed by De Watergroep into potable water (10% of the total drinking water requirement), 90% will be produced from rainwater.
