Stormwater harvesting can help reduce water bills by providing an alternative source of water for things like irrigation, toilet flushing, cooling systems, etc. By capturing and reusing stormwater, property owners and businesses can decrease their reliance on treated municipal water, which often comes at a higher cost. Over time, this can lead to significant savings, especially in areas with high water rates.
Harvested stormwater can also reduce the frequency and volume of water drawn from the main supply, lowering both consumption charges and potential stormwater fees in some municipalities. Although installing a stormwater harvesting system involves upfront costs for infrastructure and maintenance, the long-term financial benefits can outweigh these initial investments.
