Install water tanks for peace of mind

Installing a water tank or even a series of water tanks at a home or business not only allows rainwater harvesting and lowered water bills but it also ensures there is a back-up of reserve water in case of water supply outages.

Water supply in the urban areas of South Africa varies from being relatively reliable to virtually non-existent.  Unfortunately, many smaller towns and rural areas are suffering from neglect when it comes to municipal services such as water supply.  Water restrictions and unannounced water supply cuts can make life very uncomfortable, whether at home or at the office.

Water tanks can be used to harvest rainwater from the building’s rooftop – vast quantities of rainwater can be harvested and stored in rain water tanks for everyday use or for emergency/back-up.

Rainwater harvesting need not be the only reason to install water tanks; it is a good idea to store water – whether from municipal supplies or other sources – to mitigate the effects of water supply outages.  General malaise is affecting many municipal service providers but water supply shortages can also be caused from strikes and rioting, accidents, infrastructure damage and natural disasters.  The peace of mind knowing that a full water tank of 5000 litres, 10000 litres or even 20000 litres is available for emergencies is priceless.  Of course, rain water need not only be stored for water supply cuts but can be used for most household uses, including drinking if appropriately filtered.

Rainwater tanks and water tanks are therefore a wise investment for any property, especially in South Africa where water scarcity and water issues are becoming increasingly serious.
