Go get your rain tank before summer!

Despite the recent rains, Capetonians and other residents of the Province are being encouraged to invest in alternative water sources to reduce pressure on the municipal supply system. Rainwater harvesting is one of the most cost-effective and efficient ways to collect and store water for use in the home or business. This water requires minimal treatment before use and can be stored for long periods of time if safe storage procedures are followed.

In the height of the drought, there was a long waiting period for rain tanks. This waiting period has declined significantly, and, in most cases, you can collect a rain tank from a local supplier on the same day. There are a variety of size and shape options available to suit every space and to meet your water needs. Make sure to save as much rainwater now for use during the warmer summer months. This will not only reduce pressure on the municipal water supply but could also decrease your monthly water bill as you can use your stored water in your home or business.
