If you live in the Texas Hill Country or plan to make your home here in the future, one of the concerns you may face is water availability. In rural areas not serviced by piped in water utilities, your options are really just two: Drill a well or collect rainwater.
That said, with warming temperatures and record droughts, groundwater from aquifers in Central Texas can be pretty scarce. If you are able to hit one of the underground aquifers, the water is often harsh due to the limestone substrate the water travels through. And for a variety of reasons- whether the smell or the impact on pumps and home appliances, well water requires a lot of conditioning, including reverse osmosis, before it becomes drinkable. The other option would be the opposite. Catching rainwater falling from the sky during our rainy seasons. The average annual rainfall in the Dripping Springs area is approximately 33 inches. Planning for a large enough catchment area and tank capacity can help ensure you catch enough rain for your needs in the long haul. Rainwater is soft, requires very little treatment to ensure potability, and tastes great. In a world where water is quickly becoming a precious commodity, wouldn't it make sense to capture and manage your own water supply for all your needs? We think so. Let us help you make it happen. |
