Transform Every Drop with Rainwater Collection Systems
Rainwater collection systems are designed to capture and store rainwater for later use by redirecting runoff from rooftops and other catchment areas into a storage tank. Water is channeled through gutters and downspouts, and sometimes a first-flush diverter, which separates the debris-laden initial runoff from the main flow of clean water.
Collected water is further filtered to remove debris and contaminants before entering the storage tank, which can be above or below ground and may vary in size depending on the system's capacity. A pump is then used to move the stored water from the tank to the point of use for irrigation, domestic applications, and, with additional treatment, even potable water purposes like drinking or cooking.
Rainwater harvesting reduces Asheville homeowners' reliance on municipal water, which can save you money on your monthly water bills and minimize the effects of stormwater runoff on your property and our community.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is On-Site Rainwater Harvesting?
Also known as on-site water harvesting, in-situ rainwater harvesting is a conservation practice that focuses on capturing and storing rainwater within the immediate area where it falls. This method aims to maximize infiltration into the soil, enhance its capacity to hold water, and reduce runoff. In-situ rainwater harvesting is typically used for gardens, livestock watering, and domestic use.

Why Is It A Good Idea To Install A Rainwater Harvesting System?
While the biggest benefit of rainwater harvesting is that it reduces the burden on local water supplies, it also prevents a valuable resource from washing contaminants and debris down the drain. Rainwater collection reduces stormwater runoff, which can address problems with erosion and flooding. Using collected rainwater for irrigation, cleaning, or other applications can also save you money on your utility bills.
