Edgewater NW offers services relating to water supply, efficiency and quality.
We have experience with Rainwater Harvesting for irrigation as well as domestic potable use. We can supply a full range of equipment from full systems to filters, pumps, first flush diverters, UV and Ozone disinfection systems.
Here is a link to innovative RWH equipment that we use and sell. The new CLEAN RAIN ULTRA is a revolution in rainwater collection. The Clean Rain combines a first flush system with a leaf remover with a downspout collector! Amazing!
The State of Oregon just (June 2008) adopted rules for residential RWH systems to be permitted under. (link to rule) Appendix M
a small system that is used for domestic water.
Interesting info:
The truth is the Northwest actually receives less average rainfall than seemingly sunnier climes. Out of 100 U.S. cities, our region ranks 56th in average rainfall at 38.6 inches. Metropolitan areas with higher annual rainfalls include Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Houston, Memphis, Miami, New York and Philadelphia.
