Rainwater Capture

Rainwater Harvesting Water conservation and water re-use are becoming vital to today’s world. With municipal bans and other demands being placed on our limited water supply, rainwater capture can alleviate or eliminate the detrimental effects of shortages. One inch of rainfall on a 1,000 square foot roof yields approximately 623 gallons of water annually; in New England, an average year produces 44 inches of rain…that equates to 27,000 gallons annually that you could be capturing and using! Indoor uses for captured rainwater include toilet flushing (allowed with special permission) and laundry; outdoor uses include landscaping and gardening needs as well as car and boat washing, etc.  Rainwater capture and re-use reduces the demand on municipal water supplies, reduces or eliminates run-off from the property, and saves money on your water bill.

Call us today to discuss how easy it is to install a rainwater capture system.
