Rainwater Harvesting at Talgarth Bowling Club
Why? / Pam?
To reduce the club’s water bill and conserve a precious natural resource. Talgarth Bowling Club is fortunate to have a band of dedicated volunteers who care and maintain the bowling green throughout the year. A necessary part of this is the irrigation system which uses mains water. However, our volunteer gardeners also need water to maintain the floral displays which have multiplied since the club first got involved with the Grow for Talgarth Project three years ago.
What? / Beth?
In an effort to benefit the environment and reduce the strain on mains water, the club has upgraded its rainwater harvesting system. Two 1000 litre tanks are in place, together with piping and tap fittings. The aim is to collect rainwater from the club house roof throughout the autumn and winter months and use the water for the floral displays in the bowling season. Once we have some significant rainfall, the siting of the down pipes will be reviewed to maximise rainwater harvesting from the roof of the club house.
