Residential Rainwater Tanks

 

In 2004 the NSW State Government introduced the BASIX (Building Sustainability Index) legislation.

This Act was established to encourage sustainable residential development by reducing consumption of mains supplied potable water and and improve the thermal performance of a building.

The aim of the BASIX legislation in the Coffs Harbour area is to reduce the consumption of mains supplied potable water by 40%, therefore, requiring all new houses to have a Rainwater Tank.  The BASIX legislation also applies to substantial renovations/extensions and swimming pool installation.

This can be achieved by installing our 20,000 litre Inground Concrete Water Tank.  The Tank water is used  to flush the toilets, it’s used over the laundry tub and the washing machine, also all outdoor Water use.
