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.

I'm guessing that he's mostly concerned with, and talking about, skyscrapers where they're so tall that the water pressure can be a problem for the higher floors.

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.

Exactly! Water pressure is a gigantic issue.

Also, when your done with that, remind yourself why water and electricity don't go well together.

You would put your plumbing, and electricity under your floor boards, without understanding why they don't do that now?

Both water and electricity run through my walls. Do you think they are just mixing around in there together? Lmao.
