Annual water consumption

[Woodcutter]

[...] and I have 30 M3 of storage, dimensioned on the basis of a pluvio of 920 m / m (1025 in 2008 !!) and 300 M2 (future) of collection, for complete autonomy for the house, with the hope of (negotiation in progress) being able to make my stage self-catering also (officially) 12-14 pl. ... [...]

Whoa!

Good luck with the DDASS ...

What have you planned as a drinking water treatment? UV?

[Bullitt]

Hello,

I look funny with my 3 m3 of water ...

To answer, my installation is purely DIY and amateur.

I recovered over time, 3 tanks of 1000 liters, the one found in cubic plastic on a pallet.

They are installed in my basement, where the gutters pass, very simple to set up, the 1st tank receives the water, when it is full, it pours into the 2nd and 3rd tank that I have paired, so to have a 2000 liter tank, this avoids changing the tank often.

I have a first filtration with a fabric thin enough to stop large impurities from the roof.

I installed a 60 liter booster, followed by a 5 micro filter, and I feed the water supply from the basement, the downstairs WC and the washing machine, having created a circuit parallel rainwater to power these elements, the design is simple, since I take advantage of the basement to pass this parallel circuit.

I estimated the total cost of the installation at around 300 €.

I am currently working to improve water filtration, bury a 4500 liter tank in the basement, to recover space, and use a 1000 liter tank for drip irrigation of the garden (currently, have a 200 liter tank).

No, no, you don't seem like a joke, you even played very well, your first tank serves as the main decantation. (very useful)
You have made the recovery of 1000 liter PE canister, still well played!


Everyone does with the means at hand

Did you see the report broadcast yesterday on M6 on water recovery precisely (Capital at 20:40 pm)?

He was talking about buried tanks in Belgium which are if I understood correctly mandatory and suddenly like everyone else is getting started, their market is reaching saturation so they are eyeing the side of France and offer buried tanks at competitive prices .

And if I understood correctly (but I did two things at the same time) Véolia is not happy at all because we consume less of their water but they must continue to retire autan so he is considering a special tax for customers who use rainwater

I think the report is rebroadcast on the site and late at night on weekdays.

To tax is called socialism; damn, it's my fault

[Bullitt]

Yes, it is done with the means at hand, which earned me some flooding in the basement, during thunderstorms.

Regarding my electrical consumption, I will make a presentation of the invoices and actions taken.

I do not complain the least about Véolia and others (Bouygues, etc ...) but it seems to me quite normal to pay to clean up the water that we have soiled. Therefore, paying the same sanitation tax (and only this one) on the recovered rainwater that goes down the drain (by the toilets in particular) as on the network water seems not only to be normal, but in addition to be subject to a strict citizen logic ...

Bonjour,

Whoa!

to negotiate ..., we'll see ..
but probably, for sanitary water ....
I hope not for drinking water if they accept it .... (rather filtration)

And if I understood correctly (but I did two things at the same time) Véolia is not happy at all because we consume less of their water but they must continue to retire autan so he is considering a special tax for customers who use rainwater

it should also be remembered that this is not a "tax" on rainwater, but simply, concerning those who are in the collective sanitation network, the installation of a secondary meter (on supply) on this "other" water used in the house, so that it can also be counted for the calculation of the "royalty fee sanitation "....
therefore, just to count the 100% of water used in the house and discharged to the network, to invoice the fee on 100% of discharge ...

I do not complain the least about Véolia and others (Bouygues, etc ...) but it seems to me quite normal to pay to clean up the water that we have soiled.

exactly .....

ok for the tax on reprocessing after all we remunerate a service, but in this case, we must not charge for what does not come back in the network. for example, every time a consumer taps the tap to water his plants, fill a pan with water he throws out the window (which is often my case: the cooking water of Pdt being an excellent dice serbant!)

this would entail a complete review of the billing system: no longer on the water withdrawn, but re-injected into the circuit.

[Pear Belle Helene]

I who live in the countryside and therefore do not have at my disposal a collective sanitation system, I do not reject anything in the collective.

We have an all-water tank we pay every 5 years to have it drained.
