Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC (1888PressRelease)
January 24, 2008 - Stanton Homes is pleased to announce that Rainwater Harvesting Systems are now offered as a standard feature in select new homes, and as an option in all new homes.
“The Rainwater Collection System we have been offering as an option is receiving so much interest that we are now including it as a standard feature in a nice selection of new custom homes built by Stanton Homes,” said Stan Williams, CEO of Stanton Homes.
One of only a very few area builders to offer homeowners a rainwater collection system as part of the new home building process, Stanton Homes has also announced that they will provide free installation to any home buyer interested in adding a system to any other new Stanton Home.
“With current drought conditions in the Raleigh area, we want to offer solutions to homeowners interested in ways to keep gardens and lawns green,” said Williams. “These systems are easy to use, and it’s amazing how far they can extend water usage for outdoor landscaping”.
This basic system includes a 550 gallon above-ground tank. Rain is collected from gutters, filtered, and stored in the tank. A hose is connected to the tank, and a small motorized pump allows hand or sprinkler watering. If desired, a small fence can be placed around the system at nominal cost for screening purposes.
“Our intention is to do all that we can to help conserve natural resources, as a part of our home building services,” said Williams. “We consider it to be a part of the exceptional living experience we seek to provide to homeowners.”
Underground systems are also available for new homes constructed by Stanton Homes. Tanks range from 400-10,000 gallons, and many can also support landscaping irrigation systems.
Rainwater collection systems are just one of the environmentally sound features offered by Stanton Homes, which include Energy Star lighting packages and appliances, grey water reclamation systems, solar pathway and landscaping lights, and sealed and insulated crawlspaces. The Industry Information section of the Stanton Homes website offers easy-to-read information about many of these features, at http://www.stantonhomes.com/IndustryArticles.aspx.
