Australia is no stranger to the heavens have opened kind of storm. It's easy to wish the rain would stop, however, with an efficient stormwater recycling system, the water these storms leave behind can be used for you and the planet’s benefit.
At
Origin Plumbing & Gas, we install
stormwater and rainwater
systems that are designed to utilise the storm and rainwater that gathers on and around your property. You may have heard about stormwater systems before, but aren't really sure what they are.
You have come to the right place for all you need to know about stormwater system recycling in Lismore.
A stormwater recycling system, often taking the form of a tank, is built to catch stormwater following heavy rainfall. These systems tend to collect water from surfaces made up of impermeable materials that do not effectively absorb stormwater.
This includes roads, driveways, pavements and roofs:-
All the water collected in the process of stormwater system recycling is non-potable, which means it's not fit for human consumption. However, the water can still be used for a wide range of other purposes.
Common uses of recycled stormwater include:
Stormwater systems essentially repurpose water that otherwise would have gone to waste. Using recycled water for the above purposes, amongst others, is more environmentally friendly than using filtered water from main water supplies.
As the water filtration system is a lengthy and expensive process, stormwater system recycling acts as a way to reduce demand for this kind of water and creates a perfectly decent solution elsewhere.
Stormwater system recycling in Lismore can also help reduce downstream environmental impacts, helping to reduce pollutants reaching the destination they initially might have.
Whilst similar, there are differences between stormwater and rainwater, especially in the context of stormwater recycling systems. Stormwater is water that drains off a land area following rainfall. This includes rainfall on rooftops which has been directed through gutters, drains, downpipes as well as rain that falls directly to the ground. Due to the journey it takes, it often contains more contaminants and debris.
Rainwater is water from rainfall that has only had contact with the roofs of buildings. As it hasn't made contact with the ground, and all the pollutants and impurities that come with that contact, it is generally of a better quality.
Do you find you require non-potable water for a wide variety of purposes? Whether you use a lot of water for gardening, agricultural and other purposes not including consumption, or only use a bit but are environmentally conscious, you might benefit from our stormwater system tanks in Lismore.
