Dog Wood Lane, Salt Spring Island

Potable Water System (supplements piped water)

This rainwater catchment system was designed for a new home still under construction on Salt Spring Island, BC. The home is a healthy rammed earth house built by Terra Firma Builders Ltd. and the owners were committed to the idea of using a sustainable source of water to supplement their piped water supply. They are also looking for long term cost saving as piped water rates increase.
