6 Advantages of having water tanks on a property

In South Africa, brightly coloured plastic water tanks are a fairly common sight at homes and businesses. Don’t have a water tank and need some reasons?

Here are 6 advantages of installing water tanks on the property:

1. Rainwater storage – water tanks can be used to store rainwater captured from your rooftop. Rainwater can be used for just about any purpose, including drinking water as long as it is appropriately filtered/purified.
2. If you are able to obtain most of your bulk water from your own rainwater harvesting tanks, a substantial percentage of your water bill can be saved.
3. When water restrictions are in place, stored water in water tanks can be used to keep the garden and lawn alive without breaking the law.
4. By installing rainwater tanks, you are doing your bit for the environment – not only will you be saving water but the reduced runoff from streets and sewers reduces pollution and streambank erosion of local waterways.
5. Emergency supplies of water (whether the source is borehole, municipal or rainwater) in the event of water supply outages is a very good idea, especially in some of South Africa’s smaller municipalities where water supplies are becoming increasingly unreliable.
6. Properly installed water tanks, whether as part of a rainwater system or a storage facility for you existing supply of water, will increase the value and desirability of the property (in water scarce South Africa, back-up water supplies and tanks are a big plus on properties).  Remember when installing the base or the tank stand – use top quality materials and employ the services of a competent contractor/builder. Quality water tanks such as those made by JoJo Tanks should also be chosen. A quality water tank installation will pay for itself and more when the property is sold.
