Reply to comment by UrbanGhost114 in Big tech companies are selling their Silicon Valley campuses amid struggle by McFatty7

I’m an engineer who understands water pressure and have no idea what your concern about it is…

Water service is the easiest thing in a building, the pressurized system means you can make vertical bends, use flexible tubing, etc. sanitary is the tricky one since it drains by gravity.

Most of these campuses in the original article do not have any skyscrapers so if the concern is based on that, it’s not really applicable.
