The newly constructed Spooner Summit Fire Station in the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit in Nevada is designed to save energy and resue waste water. The 3,390-square-foot fire station will be heated and cooled by a ground source heat pump assisted by a solar system that reduces the temperature fluctuations in the heat exchange medium used by the system. The station will store sewage in a vault until the sewage can be hauled away for disposal. The station's waste water will be treated on-sited and reused in the building's toilets to reduce the amount of waste water stored in the vault.
