The Rainwater Harvesting System installation is underway, once the roof is finished this Fall, the take off points, gutters and downspouts will be put in place and rainwater will then be filtered before reaching the tanks for detention. Once installation is completed, the Rainwater Harvesting System will be fully operational and ready for the rain to fall.
Our water reclamation system means some pretty good things for the environment. Did you know that 50% or more of all potable (human consumption) water is used for non-potable purposes such as irrigation, car washing and toilet flushing? And, the average US household consumes about 70,000 G/year of water?
Roth Global Plastics, Inc. (Syracuse), supplier of three, 1,500 gallons tanks knows that rainwater harvesting plays an important role in benefitting the environment through reclamation. Rain water harvesting also reduces the consumption of high-quality water from the municipal water system, where reclamated water could be used for non-potable, janitorial purposes. Benefits also translate at the municipal level, stormwater planning with an RHS component will increase cost savings and reduce storm drain runoff in your own backyard.
A. Treffeisen & Son, LLC (Oneonta) is currently installing the 1500 gallon tanks. When these tanks become operational they will be collecting rainwater runoff from a 25,200 sq. ft. rooftop. June would have been a great month to collect these rainwater benefits!
Backfilling should be completed this week.
Next up for us: Steel. We’re expecting more than 60 tons of it to begin to arrive on site by the end of the month.
