Harvesting rain
Council encourages you to install rainwater harvesting systems such as water tanks.
Rainwater is an alternative water resource to our dams, and encourages sustainable water use. Rainwater harvesting reduces the reliance of domestic and business on mains water. It also enhances the protection of our waterways by reducing stormwater run-off.
