Rainwater harvesting should be part of any discussion regarding water on an Island. Gulf Islands have a limited ability to store surface and groundwater, and lose up to 80% of rainwater as runoff to the ocean. Rainwater collection offers islanders the opportunity to hold more freshwater on their island, supplement their current source of ground or surface water (or in rare cases, replace it), and then release this rainwater back into the environment over time, which can benefit ecosystems by providing a source of water during the dry summer months.
By giving our clients a FREE Leaf-Eater rain head and a FREE rainwater harvesting system design from McTaggart Water Systems we are encouraging our clients to consider rainwater harvesting as a water source. Whether it is for gardening or a full system to supplement or replace your well system it is a step towards lessening our impact on our environment.
Whether you are buying or selling your home with us we will provide you with a top of the line Leaf Eater Rain Head and will orgainze a FREE consultation with McTaggart Water Systems for the design of your rain catchment system.
Call us today to discuss the details on how this program can benefit you and the sale or purchase of your home.
