How can there be functioning bathrooms in high rises? - Lemmy.World

It seems like such a huge amount of water and would require so much energy to get it that high, plus there’s the waste to deal with

Waste is easy, it goes down.

For pressure, high rises have a pump in their machine room that pumps water upwards. It used to be water towers on the roofs of buildings that aides pressure

Back when I lived around the 30th floor, I would turn on the tap and then wait 10 minutes for the hot water to arrive.

The trick was to wait until the people above you were having a shower, then it would already be hot.
