I run 4 x 800 liter tanks collecting water that would otherwise be drained away.
I use a 2 Bar automatic pump that supplies the toilets, washing machine and both outside taps (inc hosepipe etc)
I think I recall recently looking into the hosepipe ban (not that it affects us northerners) and I think the wording was quite specific about restrictions over what you do with water off the mains - As for (what is essentially) a big bucket of water that collected some rain as it came down, do with it as you please as far as I'm concerned...  |
Nice work

You're not on a water meter then?
A few years ago when i fell out with our water company about the cost of the water, I won’t bore you with the details but I was told that they have the rights to the water that falls in their area and you can only hold so much. Weather this is true or not I don’t know but if it is I would say that the water you hold in your stowage tanks belongs to the water company.
