200 gallon Rainwater HOG Installation, Seaside Ca


Location: Seaside, Ca
Client: College Art Instructor / Ceramicist

Project Scope: Phase I Rainwater Harvesting System Design / Installation
Storage Capacity: 200 gal Rainwater HOG System


Design Intention:

This is a gravity fed rain catchment system intended to fulfill the landscape water requirements for the client's back yard for a significant portion of the year once fully implemented. The rest of the water needs will be supplied by graywater to support summer and fall months when rainwater supply is running low or depleted. Supplemental units plan to be installed in the near future in multiple locations to maximize storage capacity, take advantage of site placement and the slight slope of the lot and fultill the water requirements for both native and non-native water-loving plant species such as clumping bamboo for wind and privacy screening.
A great little project indeed and I look forward to completing the larger whole-house water recycling vision in the near future.
