Commercial and Institutional
The physical building and other property from which you operate your business or institution can become even more of an asset than it is right now. By collecting the rainwater that falls on roofs and other hard surfaces (parking lots, sidewalks and others) and using it to maintain your landscaping all year long, square footage that once was idle now creates a positive impact on your bottom line.
For new construction, rainwater collection can be part of your comprehensive water management program that controls storm water runoff and provides an on-site water supply for indoor use, too. Flushing toilets, doing laundry, washing vehicles and performing other maintenance tasks with collected, treated rainwater lower your annual water costs even further and results in less dependence (and drain) on municipal water overall.
Capturing and using tens of thousands of gallons of rainwater each year is very real and very strategic — businesses and institutions across the country are using rainwater systems right now that will last many years into the future. In many cases, rainwater collection is part of a larger sustainability program designed meet corporate objectives and even to achieve LEED certification.
Even smaller, economical rainwater collection systems can deliver very attractive financial returns and meet sustainability goals.
ECOVIE system designers work with business owners, site managers, architects and engineering firms to provide customized design and installation services that match your unique property, goals and budget.
If you have a commercial or institutional property, consider the advantages of rainwater collection to:
- Reduce your water expenses and your dependency on expensive municipal delivery systems
- Solve storm water runoff and erosion problems or problems with flooding
- Protect your landscaping investment from droughts and watering bans
- Provide chlorine-free, contaminant-free water for healthier landscaping, annuals, shrubs and shade trees
- Promote the beauty and enjoyment of your common exterior areas
