Water conservation / re-use

Separate lines – grey and black water
Did we do it? - yes

this was in part future proofing the system so that it will be easier to add a use for that grey water, and partly to minimise the water flow into the septic tank. We will be able to tee-off the grey water for plant irrigation at a later date. all the water flows to the final 5m deep tank (concrete rings, and thence to th drain field. the system appears to be working as planned though time will of course tell

Separate tank grey water
Did we do it? - no

Not in this build but we can add it later. In fact, it was not a deliberate act - yours truly forgot to tell the builder of the plan!!


Rainwater harvesting
Did we do it? – no

Guttering was not part of k.Pot's contract - i figured we would get a specialist in to do that later, and at that time we will look again at collecting clean rain water. Probably for swimming pool top up rather than toilet / shower use but I am still thinking about an overhead water tank in the mango land, so we might employ that water in the house.


Dual flush toilets
Did we do it? - yes

Pretty much a given with new sanitary-ware installations. these Mogen units all have the feature, which should cut water use a little bit each week.
