How good was that rain last week!? Although the stormwinds were strong, some areas received up to half an inch of rain, with more on the horizon...

We have Potential Tropical Cyclone Five which could give a few of us a chance of rain over the next few days, even as we hit a few more triple-digit days. – Freddy Vela

A thoughtfully designed architectural feature in San Actonio's famouc Confluence Park is more eye-catching - the petals of this shade structure also capture and divert rainwater to underground cisterns where it is filtered and reused!

We recently did a job for a client in Austin for a total combined capacity of 3,515 gallons! We relocated 3 500 gallon poly tanks to the side of their home, reconnecting as a volume share wet system in an inconspicuous corner of their yard, and added an additional 2015 gallon Texas Metal Tanks, doubling their capacity! Not bad storage capacity for an urban lot! We are proud to help our client lower their bills and increase the sustainability of their home.

If you want to get your OWN water independence, call us to get a rainwater system installed!
