08.01.2022 Energy used to make up about one-third of the cost of mains water, with the recent hike in electricity charges it is probably more now. The relationship between energy and rainwater is not intuitive, despite the additional energy use of the pump household energy use usually decreases with rainwater harvesting. Find out why!
