Rainwater Harvesting
As water costs continue to rise and environmental awareness grows, we are increasingly being asked to install rainwater harvesting systems for homes and businesses.
Save Water & Reduce Costs
Rainwater harvesting systems collect and store rainwater for non-drinking uses such as toilet flushing, garden irrigation, vehicle washing and general cleaning. By reducing reliance on mains water, they can significantly lower water bills and help conserve valuable natural resources.
In some properties, rainwater harvesting systems can reduce mains water consumption by up to 75%, making them an excellent long-term investment where water usage is high or supply is limited.
Environmental Benefits
By capturing and reusing rainwater, these systems reduce demand on mains water supplies and help preserve natural water resources.
They also reduce surface water runoff, helping to minimise flooding, soil erosion and water pollution while supporting healthier local ecosystems.
At Earthworks Wilts Ltd, we are proud to install rainwater harvesting systems as part of our drainage and groundworks services, helping customers create more sustainable and environmentally friendly developments.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can a system be added to an existing property?
Yes, systems can be retrofitted, although it's often more straightforward and cost-effective to include one as part of a new build or major renovation.
-
How much maintenance do these systems need?
Very little. Filters should be checked periodically and tanks occasionally cleaned, but otherwise the systems are largely self-sufficient.
-
Is harvested rainwater safe to drink?
No, standard systems are designed for non-potable uses only, such as flushing toilets and garden irrigation, not for drinking water.
