The black water butts are connected to each other in series to the downpipe butt. They are all full so are disconnected from it now.
The metal barrels and smaller bins are all filled by hand.
The roof space is 7m2. Annual average rainfall is 680 mm (26.5”) which equates to 4760 litres (1257 US gal).
We’ve just had nearly double our usual winter rainfall but the uncertainty is how much we’ll have in spring or summer. Most of the 3000+ litres has been collected since November.
