Cost of Rainwater Collection Systems

When considering the cost of a rainwater collection system, it’s important to factor in various elements that influence the final price. At Resource Rangers, we understand that this is a crucial consideration for homeowners looking to embrace the benefits of rainwater harvesting. By involving us in the design process early, you can achieve substantial savings.

Design Matters: A Good Plan Saves Money

Getting us involved in the design process early can save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in the long run. A well-thought-out plan is the foundation of an efficient and cost-effective rainwater collection system. We design systems that align with your specific needs and site conditions ensuring you get the most value from your investment.

Factors That Drive Costs

Several factors come into play when determining the cost of your rainwater collection system:

Storage Tank Size, Style, and Color: The size, style, and color of your new storage tank can affect the overall cost of your system
Site Conditions: Whether you’re working with a new construction site or an existing building can impact costs.
Distance Between Collection Surface and Filtration Locations: The distance from where rainwater is collected to where it’s filtered can influence the complexity of the system.
Change in Slope of Grade: The terrain and any changes in slope on your property can impact installation costs.
Existing Underground Utilities: The presence of underground utilities may require adjustments to the system, affecting the overall cost.
Hardscapes and Landscaping: The complexity of hardscapes and landscaping around your property can affect installation costs.
Number of Downspouts: The number of downspouts on your building or to be installed can influence the size and complexity of the collection system.
Gutters: The type, material, and whether you have existing gutters in place can impact the cost of integration with your rainwater collection system.

Typical Costs for Potable Residential Systems

Potable residential rainwater collection systems typically range from $30,000 to $45,000. The final cost will depend on the combination of factors mentioned above and your specific requirements and preferences.

An average turnkey residential system cost is approximately $1.25 to $1.50 per gallon of installed capacity, with annual DIY filter and UV light maintenance cost of approximately $400 hereafter. We also have annual maintenance programs available upon request.
For Example: For a typical four-person home and a 4,000 square foot roof catchment area, we would recommend installing a 30,000-gallon tank, which can supply your home year-round, considering the average rainfall in North Texas.
This turnkey potable system would cost approximately $37,500 to $42,000, equivalent to around $1.25 to $1.40 per gallon of installed and available water storage.
