Rain Water Catchment—Living off of the Water Grid from Washington Stormwater Center on Vimeo.

One family in Carnation, WA wanted an eco friendly (passive) house. After careful research, and with the prospect of a prohibitively expensive well, they installed a large cistern to provide water to the home. This flagship project is the first of its kind to be permitted in King County. It uses an impressive series of filters and safeguards to ensure that the water is always safe to drink.
