We consult on water systems from well water, surface water and rainwater harvesting. Our area of specialty is ensuring your water source meets and maintains potable water quality.
Why Rainwater?
- poor well quality and quantity?
- present potable water source too dirty and costly to clean?
- Emergency water storage for disasters or fire suppression?
- to decrease storm water flow into city storm drains and sewers?
- provide irrigate for food crops when water restrictions disallows such?
