What about rainwater tanks in urban areas? What's involved with fitting a
small tank to the house? Are there companies who do this? i.e. not just
deliver a tank to your door.
Who here has one? Do you use it a lot?

This may be quite simple but not necessarily. Often there are several
downpipes from the guttering to drains, the guttering will be sloped so that
the water falls to these at different points about the house. It will be
easy enough to put a tank under one of these instead of the drain but then
you waste the water going down the others. Re-running the guttering so that
all or most run to the same point could be expensive.
