Exemplary Resources / Off the Grid Living
Entrep"rain"eurial spirit
TEXAS, USA, June 23, 2006 (Bob Swanson and Doyle Rice, USA Today) – Richard Heinichen, the mayor of Tank Town in Dripping Springs, Texas, who has made a business out of installing rainwater collection systems and distributing bottled water (http://rainwater.org/). He has also recently published Rainwater Collection for the Mechanically Challenged, an invaluable resource for someone who is seriously considering replacing or supplementing an existing well or public water supply. It does a nice job in helping one assess current water usage and estimating water requirements if one does decide to go "off the grid." It details the pros and cons of different types of rainwater collection, filtration and purification systems and gives cost comparisons for each. http://blogs.usatoday.com/weather/2006/06/entrepraineuria.html
