Only about 30 percent of all treated water for residential purposes is used for drinking, bathing or cooking. The rest is used for irrigation, laundry, flushing toilets, etc. Rainwater collection is becoming more and more popular in the southeast as well as the rest of the US. Since water will continuously be less abundant, it will become increasingly more difficult to obtain a permit for lawn irrigation without an alternative water supply. RAIN PRO can be your solution and a proactive approach to prevent fighting with city hall or your neighbors. There is a GRANT program in NC (CCAP), that may pay up to 75% for the materials and installation of a cistern |

Gray Water Rainwater should not be confused with grey water. Gray water is the drain effluent from a bathtub, shower, washing machine or sink and is illegal in many states for re-use. Harvested rainwater is a much purer source and can be filtered to completely potable (chlorine free) water. "Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine." U.S. Council of Environmental Quality In a ten minute shower you absorb more chlorine through your skin and through inhalation than you do drinking eight 8 ounce glasses of tap water.
