You've heard the news. Raleigh has moved to Stage 2 water restrictions. Mayor Meeker advises the use of rain barrels to capture rainwater for outdoor watering. Leisure Landscapes now offers an array of WaterSaverTM systems to collect rainwater. We can even generate water when it doesn't rain. And some of these assemblies can be used to run your existing irrigation system.

Raleigh Water Restrictions

Effective February 15, 2008, Raleigh enacted the Stage 2 Water Conservation ordinance that prohibits the use of public water for irrigation. The municipalities of Garner, Knightdale, Raleigh, Rolesville, Wake Forest, Wendell and Zebulon comprise this water system. Further conservation measures suggest "Use rain barrels for watering of shrubs, flowers or vegetables. It appears unlikely now that drinking water will be available for irrigation in 2008."

Call Leisure at 919.847.1733 for your WaterSaver consultation.

 

Here's what we offer:

The \91Rain Barrel'

The Rain Barrel (shown in blue) is a 60 gal container that sits directly under a downspout It holds about the same amount of water as a bathtub.

Benefits: Low cost of installation; easy, above-ground installation & maintenance; small size makes it suitable for townhomes.

Drawbacks: Small capacity holds only enough water for window boxes, houseplants and pocket gardens; manual pumping or ladling for water extraction.

Under Deck WaterSaverTM

The Under Deck WaterSaverTM assembly consists of a 1250 gallon tank (about the size of a large hot tub). The tank is located above ground in the space under a deck. Your roof gutters and downspouts are reconfigured to feed water to the storage tank. An external pump pulls water out of the tank to supply your existing small in-ground or drip irrigation system.

Benefits: Medium cost of installation; easier, above-ground maintenance; captures rainwater from roof and attic-mounted air conditioner condensate.

Drawbacks: Pump and lines must be winterized; existing downspouts and condensate lines must be reconfigured.

Underground WaterSaverTM

The Underground WaterSaverTM assembly consists of a 1700 gallon tank (enough to run an average irrigation system three times beforet refilling). The tank is located under ground in a lawn area at the lowest elevation of your property. Your roof gutters and downspouts are routed to feed water to the storage tank. In addition, surface run-off water can be captured through drains and routed to the tank. Finally, even when there is no rain, water from dehumidifiers and air conditioning condensate can be routed to the storage tanks. An internal well pump pulls water out of the tank to supply your existing in-ground irrigation system.

Benefits: Pump and lines are buried and out of sight; full capture of all runoff water; larger capacity for larger systems.

Drawbacks: Higher cost of installation; more disruptive to existing landscape during installation

No matter which size or style you choose, Leisure Landscapes has the solution to your watering needs. And as a special introductory offer, we will start you off with your tank primed and ready to go.
