Rainwater Collection & Harvesting Systems

harvesting systems - design
installation - service

Rainwater became vital to us in 1999 when our expensive reverse osmosis system treating salty well water began to fail. We researched our options and after much thought built our own rainwater harvesting system. Two years later we started our business - designing and building rainwater systems for others. We've developed guidelines that we know are essential for the BC climate.

We have been joined this year by Dick Stubbs, a former Building Inspector on Salt Spring Island, to assist with design and construction management and we welcome him.

We have two main field construction personnel, Kevin Hughes and Camplin Telford, who have been with us since we started. Bob Rowe is our roof specialist for the steel cisterns.

We work closely with private clients, architects and builders as well as electricians and plumbers from the different Gulf Islands.

Bob Burgess - Bob is also an advisor and consultant to government and the development community on the feasibility of using rainwater as a water conservation and storm water management tool. This builds on his 30 years of experience as a community planning and housing consultant working with urban, rural, and marine environments in the Lower Mainland, and Vancouver Island. Specializing in affordable housing and public process, his firm, Domain Consulting Ltd. has a reputation for skilled research/interviewing, meeting facilitation and creative problem solving.

Along with work for private clients, Bob consults to the development community, and actively encourages the use of rainwater through public presentations, workshops, and demonstration projects.

Each red dot on the map to the left represents a completed rainwater project. Please note that this map is not a complete list of our projects.

We are active on all the Gulf Islands of BC and well as on Vancouver Island and the mainland of BC.

Bob practices what he's believe, and his Gulf Island home/office runs entirely on treated rainwater.
