Residential Client: Hillsville, Virginia Challenge The residents relied on well water for water source in the mountains of Virginia. The well did not supply a continual source of water for all their needs. The residents sought out a rainwater harvesting to replace the well. Installing the system was comparable in price to drilling a new well, which may or may not have supplied sufficient water. Application Siphonic roof drain system 5,000 gallon belowground tank Potable system to serve all of the household's needs Benefits Offer reliable source of high quality, soft, potable water Protect groundwater resources Unnecessary to drill additional well Client: Charlottesville, Virginia Challenge Collect water from the roof line to supply water for landscape irrigation and apply irrigation as efficiently as possible. Application Two 3,400 gallon belowground tanks Vortex fine filters Subsurface drip irrigation Benefits Supply water efficient irrigation system Increase irrigation efficieny Reduce reliance on potable water for nonpotable needs Client: Crozet, Virginia Challenge Collect water from residential rood line to supply water for irrigation needs. Application One 3,400 gallon belowground tank Vortex fine filter Benefits Supply reliable water source for irrigation needs Reduce reliance on potable water for nonpotable needs Save money on water costs Client: Salem, Virginia Challenge Utilize existing roofline from onsite tennis court building to supply water to refill resident's swimming pool and for landscape irrigation needs. Resident installed potable system with the goal of ultimately using rainwater in the home for drinking water needs. Application Two 10,000 gallon aboveground tanks Roof washers that were then replaced with low-maintenance vortex fine filters Potable water treatment system compromised of UV light and micron filters Benefits Save money on water bill Have a potable system installed for future use in the home Providing plenty of water to refill a pool and supply irrigation needs Client: Roanoke, Virginia Challenge Supply water for irrigation needs during a drought. Application 500 gallon aboveground tank Benefits Keep landscape alive during a drought, which also assists in reducing air conditioner need due to evaporative cooling Client: Afton Mountain, Virginia Challenge To build a home following the US Green Building residential building program's guidelines. Rainwater harvesting is considered a green building approach and qualifies for LEED points. Application Two 1,700 gallon belowground tanks Potable water treatment system Benefits Construct a green residential building Reduce groundwater reliance and conserve groundwater resources Client: Franklin County, Virginia Challenge To collect rooftop runoff for landscape irrigation and prevent water from running down the hill and contaminating the pond. Collected water is applied as irrigation at a rate that does not exceed infiltration rate, which prevents runoff. Application 3,400 gallon belowground nonpotable storage Vortex fine filter Benefits Reduce onsite runoff and protect local lake Provide landscape irrigation Client: Allen Shreeman Challenge The home’s original well went dry in 2001. A second well was drilled to a depth of 900 feet, but only produced a half-gallon per minute. This was inadequate to provide an ample water supply for peak demand. Application Six 400 gallon storage tanks were placed in the crawl space, providing the customer with a 2,400 gallon capacity of stored rain water. The harvested rain water was filtered and sterilized for potable use. The project was coordinated with local officials, who issued a potable water permit for the rain water harvesting system. Benefits An additional well was not required. The system provides an average of 34,000 gallons of water per year. A continuous source of high quality, soft potable water is available from the system
