"Atlanta has always been known as a green city; but with the drought comes brown grass, dying landscaping and parched trees. Our Rainwater Harvesting System provides FREE water for outdoor use even during a drought and outdoor watering bans," says Laura Tallman, President of Atlanta Water Conservation.
Atlanta Water Conservation's Rainwater Harvesting System saves Atlanta businesses and residents money while conserving our precious drinking water. The harvesting system collects rainwater at a rate of nearly 1,000 gallons per inch of rain from the average roof. Even more water can be saved by converting a conventional sprinkler system into an optimized drip irrigation system. The collected rainwater is then tied into the optimized system, helping to keep outdoor landscaping beautiful even during a drought.
"Early spring is a great time to collect rainwater for your outdoor watering needs. Even if rainfall is normal this year it still won't be enough to relieve the long-term effects of the drought, and even now, in March, we are still 2 inches low for the year. "says Tallman. With the growing population of the metro Atlanta area and the recurring intensity of drought conditions, these systems are becoming more and more of a necessity.
Fortunately for Atlanta area businesses and residents, harvested rainwater is not covered by watering bans. Customers of the Rainwater Harvesting System can use their FREE rainwater to:
• Save Money!
• Water lawns
• Water gardens and flowers
• Connect to sprinkler systems
• Wash cars
• Top off pools
• Conserve our precious drinking water!
