Mafiaoza's Pizzeria and Pub Conserves Water
In response to please cut back on water use following disastrous flooding in Nashville, Mafiaoza's Pizzeria and Pub on 12th South brought in three outdoor port-a-potties and two hand-washing stations for customer to help conserve water. The restaurant also switched to paper products, canned drinks and bottled water.
"We cut our water use down by 60 or 70 percent," said Lars Kopperud, co-owner of the restaurant. "We're trying to make a good effort. This is essentially the brown-out of water."
Kopperud said the restaurant went into crisis management mode on Sunday to make sure operations could continue. Employees still use water to wash their hands and when needed to make sure they are up to code.
"A restaurant is a moving piece of machinery — it doesn't stop," he said.
