What is Rainwater Harvesting?
Rainwater Harvesting can:
- alleviate stress on low yielding wells and groundwater reserves shared by many homes and businesses in high density areas
- be used untreated (but filtered) for outdoor irrigation and other approved non-potable uses ( see BC Building Code Non-Potable Rainwater System)
- be treated to potable standards following safe, standardized methods including proper filtering, treatment, backflow protection, and air gaps stages
