Rainwater Harvest

I live in the South East and it hasn't rained for ages. We are still on a hose pipe ban and we may be looking at stand pipes if it doesn't rain in the spring. We had a water meter fitted about 5 years ago.

Should everyone be forced to go onto a meter?
Has anyone thought about or installed a rainwater harvest system?

Hi Admin,
I live in West Wales, and I think we have had your share of the rain this winter Sad

I am due to move house, soon, and will be considering rainwater harvesting, together with re-cycling "grey" water.
I will let you know what I come up with, although it may take me a year or so to get there! Wink

Have you tried looking at the Google Ads underneath this post? Anything there that's any good?
I'm only asking because I don't have the time to look for myself!! Embarassed

Thank you, Paul, I will let you know how I get on.
You are right when you say that rainwater harvesting systems are expensive!! Rolling Eyes

I am hoping that the price (of both them and solar PV) will have dropped a little by the time I am ready to have them installed.
Well, there's no harm in hoping, is there? Wink

So it's... look out for a south facing roof with one large drain pipe!
That should narrow the houses down on the estate agents books!! Wink
