Home Rain / Stormwater Residential

Efficiency First!

It’s true! You will save more water and money by reducing waste, leaks, and inefficiencies in your current plumbing system and fixtures, indoor and out, than by adding a rainwater harvesting system. The Pacific Institute’s 2003 report “Waste Not, Want Not” estimated that the potential residential water savings

from those sources could total as much as 40%. Efficiency is cool!

Even if you are collecting rainwater and reusing graywater, you’ll still want to become as efficient as possible in order to take the best advantage of your water reuse systems. Many municipal utilities now offer free home water-use surveys and free efficiency gizmos, as well as sizeable rebates for high-efficiency toilets, clothes washers, low flow devices and water efficient irrigation systems.
