WATER TANKS CANBERRA
Rainwater from storage tanks is the third largest water source in Australia, after dams and groundwater.
In Canberra, rainwater tanks are essential for providing water in agriculture, livestock and crops. Another crucial area is for household use, reducing your water consumption considerably.
These systems work by collecting rainwater that runs off roofs, storing it in tanks for future use. Additionally, these units vary in format, including:
Underground tanks that collect water filter it and then pump it directly into your home for use across various appliances.
Storage tanks above ground follow a similar process, where the rainwater runs off the roof, navigates its way through gutters and is then stored in the unit. The water is then used for non-potable things, such as watering the garden or washing cars.
Rainwater Harvesting Australia notes that tanks supply approximately 274 billion litres of water to locals annually. Meanwhile, the ABS claims that only 26% of houses have water storage tanks, producing 177 billion litres and accounting for 9% of residential supply. This amount is equivalent to approximately $540 million. In comparison, in non-urban areas, 109 billion litres of rainwater makes up 63% of residential water.
Harvesting rainwater is the most efficient tool in an integrated water management system. Acting as a local supply of high-quality water minimises the negative impacts that urban water has on natural catchments.
Benefits of Water Storage and Harvesting
There are many benefits of installing a water storage and harvesting system on your property – both for you and the environment.
Personal benefits:
- Installing and using a water tank can lower your household bills.
- The rainwater can be used for various purposes, such as caring for your garden, doing loads of washing, flushing your toilets or washing your car.
- Rainwater tanks provide an alternative supply during times when restrictions are in place.
- They also store a backup water supply to use if needed in emergencies.
Environmental benefits:
- A water tank reduces stormwater runoff from your property, reducing flooding, erosion, and surface water contamination.
- Water collected through harvesting is better for your garden as it does not contain chemicals.
- The water tank industry helps to minimise the number of water treatment and supply plants, thus reducing the amount of energy consumed.
Types of Water Tanks for Canberra
There are many different types and sizes of tanks that can be used depending on the location you want it installed and its intended use. Our experienced technicians are able to help you choose which one is right for you and your home, and install it in a timely fashion. Some of the tanks we can install at your home are:
- Corrugated (Steel) Tanks: Corrugated tanks can come in many shapes and sizes to suit the needs of you and your home. These tanks are economical, durable, and designed to be long-lasting.
- Poly (Plastic) Tanks: Poly tanks are made out of lightweight and durable material, designed for either above or below ground use. Due to being able to be situated above or below the ground, these tanks are designed to not rust. They also come in many different shapes and sizes to suit your requirements.
- Squat Tanks: Squat tanks are designed primarily to go under your house or deck. They are also used if you have limited space on your property. These tanks can come in either corrugated or poly as well as in a variety of sizes to suit your homes requirements.
- Slimline Tanks: Slimline tanks usually have smaller capacity but are designed as a space-saving solution for water storage and harvesting. They are usually installed beside the home.
