Rainwater Harvesting

Rainwater Harvesting in Austin

Water Conservation Systems to Save Money & Planet

Central Texas is no stranger to drought. When precious rainwater is that scarce, wouldn’t it be great to collect it to use on your lawn during those long, dry months? If you’ve noticed in many Austin neighborhoods, many people are doing just that – by installing rain barrels near their rain gutters to collect rain. But how do you distribute the rainwater once it’s collected?

1st Home & Commercial Services has the solution – install an integrated water harvesting and distribution system. These systems not only conserve water, they also improve irrigation and landscape management – a positive double whammy.

Rainwater harvesting actually pays you back by:

  • Reducing water bills
  • Helping you qualify for any available city, state and federal rebates and tax incentives

The 1st Home & Commercial Services team is experienced in each phase of making one of these systems a reality for you – from design and configuration to installation and testing. We work closely with clients to design a customized system that maximizes water conservation and irrigation management. We install integrated water harvesting systems that incorporate a rainwater collection system with a pump control to disperse water automatically as programmed. Centralized controls enable efficient management of irrigation systems.

In a nutshell, a water harvesting system is environmentally smart!

  • Alleviates demand on municipal water systems
  • Avoids strict watering schedules
  • Nutrient-rich rainwater is more beneficial to your landscape than municipal water
  • Reduces exposure to chemicals
  • Reduces fertilizer use

Is Rainwater Harvesting Expensive?

After the initial installation costs, rainwater harvesting is relatively inexpensive. If you plan to use the water for in home use, it will have to be treated, otherwise the other major expense is the collection components. Home and business owners can enjoy lower utility bills with the installation of these systems and a little help from Mother Nature.

Rainwater harvesting systems vary in size, but most systems are above ground, as underground systems tend to be more expensive due to excavation expenses. All systems contain the same basic parts. These include a catchment surface, conveyance system, storage, distribution, and treatment components.

We would love the opportunity to meet with you and discuss how a rainwater harvesting system can help you and/or your business conserve water and save money. Give us a call today or contact us online to get started!
