Rainwater Harvesting Success Story
A Case Study About The Allen Shreeman Home
By: Rainwater Management Solutions - Thursday, January 25, 2007
Source: www.rainwatermanagement.com
Client: Allen Shreeman
Challenge
The home’s original well went dry in 2001. A second well was drilled to a depth of 900 feet, but only produced a half-gallon per minute. This was inadequate to provide an ample water supply for peak demand.
Application
- Six 400 gallon storage tanks were placed in the crawl space, providing the customer with a 2,400 gallon capacity of stored rain water.
- The harvested rain water was filtered and sterilized for potable use.
- The project was coordinated with local officials, who issued a potable water permit for the rain water harvesting system.
Benefits
- An additional well was not required.
- The system provides an average of 34,000 gallons of water per year.
- A continuous source of high quality, soft potable water is available from the system
