Direct Feed - Single Unit
Direct feed - One shared tank.
One tank per dwelling is not the cheapest way to install rainwater harvesting, neither the equipment nor the groundworks and plumbing. A storage tank can be shared between dwellings to save costs, typically up to 40%. With a direct feed system, sharing of the pump means that the electricity to run the pump must be supplied from and charged to a landlord’s supply (although a pump for each dwelling could be installed in the shared tank).
Mains Backup
Furthermore when the rain runs out the cost of the mains water used when rainwater runs out would have to be shared out among the dwellings or charged to a landlord’s account. This is acceptable for social housing with tenants only, but not for a development where some properties might be sold.
