vacuum plumbing in corrections

    We are considering specifying  vacuum plumbing for a design/build modular procurement of a 128 cell pod building and a 160 bed 4 unit dorm.  We have a lot of naysayers who are claiming it will be a maintenance nightmare, but we have water use issues and believe it is a more sustainable approach.  But we need some folks who we can talk to who have had them in place for a while and have the responsibility for maintenance for them so they can speak to the success (or not) of the system.  Can you direct me to anyone? 

    thanks
