JUST a small item of interest to those who think oil refineries are the work of the Devil: the Chevron Refinery outside Cape Town -- the one the media loves to hate -- has installed a new water recycling facility that produces enough water for the refinery to operate. It thus saves the equivalent of the water use of 6,000 homes, every month. Next time there is a summer drought in Cape Town and we all have to stop washing our own cars or watering our lawns, but still have water in our taps, we should remember this fact.
