Hi,
Got my overgrown water bill today.
On the reverse it states I could reduce my bill if I do not allow surface
water to drain into sewers.
NOW how much storage would i need to conserve the rainfall from my roof.
Any ideas?
regards
Cineman


I think that what they are getting at is that if you store the water
from your roof and use it on the garden then you will use less mains
water and thus have a lower bill.
As to how much storage you need, you will have to work that out for
yourself as I have no idea of the size of your roof.
1 inch of rain is aproz. 0.6 of a gall per sq, ft.
