The western Cape is starting to enter its rainy season. This means dam levels will be rising as they collect water to supply our region with clean water for the dryer summer months.
In the same way that our dams collect and store rain water you can now easily collect and store free water by harvesting the rain that falls on your roof. Often after the rainwater has been filtered it is ideal for indoor water consumption. Harvesting rainwater has many benefits,besides being free and not chemically treated. It stops this clean water from entering the stormwater pipe systems where it may be mixed with oily water from the roads
