Project Overview

Sustainable Water offset for Suburban Ontario.

This custom residential installation in Ajax, Ontario demonstrates how rainwater harvesting can significantly lower reliance on municipal water infrastructure. By routing roof runoff into dual high-capacity underground storage tanks, the system supplies reliable, debris-free non-potable water for household toilets, laundry facilities, and outdoor garden irrigation.

  • Dual Underground Cisterns: High-capacity storage tanks buried deep below frost lines to prevent freezing.
  • Integrated Pre-Filtration: Specialized roof-line pre-filter strips out leaves, twigs, and fine particulate before water reaches tanks.
  • Dual-Line Plumbing: Completely separated non-potable plumbing network feeding internal appliances safely.
  • Municipal Offsetting: Reduces utility bills while insulating the property against suburban summer water restrictions.
