Rainwater Harvesting ::

Rainwater harvesting is a system that collects water from the roof of your premises through the normal drainage system and stores it for re-use. Water can be stored in both over ground and underground tanks and will supply water on demand.

The most common usage for harvested rainwater is:

• Garden irrigation
• Washing car
• Washing pathways/patios etc. 

Harvested rainwater can also be used for the following household functions:

• Washing machine
• Dishwasher
• Toilet
• Shower

Rainwater harvesting has the potential to save significant amounts of money. In the long term as water treatment costs rise, the introduction of water metering is inevitable. It would be prudent to take action now and install a rainwater harvesting system so that you can begin to realize savings immediately, whilst also doing your bit for the environment.
