Project Description:<br />
Installation of a rainwater collection system to be installed in each of the above mentioned Home Depot Garden Centers. A<br />
rainwater collection system will collect the water collected from the garden center catchment area along with the condensate from<br />
the HVAC units on the roof top. This water is for re-use in the garden centers. These systems will include Corrugated Steel Tank 6<br />
x 20 total storage capacity of 4150 gallons. Complete conveyance system including a pump, floating extractor, and pump control.<br />
Motorized Municipal water backup valve, flow meter and pre-filter for system.<br />
Describe your organizations efforts in developing, implementing and enforcing water conservation and flood protection<br />
ordinances.<br />
The Home Depot is taking steps to become a partner in the community in water conservation, water quality, by significantly<br />
reducing water use in our garden centers. The implementation of a rainwater harvest system shall take steps to collect rainwater<br />
and water generated by condensation off of the HVAC rooftop units. This will provide a source of water during hot summer days<br />
and during rain event days. The expected reduction of water usage over one year is 500,000 gallons per store with a total reduction<br />
in the SWFWMD on 11 stores of 5,500,000 gallons per year. In providing this type of system in our garden center it provides the<br />
community an example of what can be done for harvesting water. This segways onto other products in our store that allow The<br />
Home Depot to conduct community outreach programs in our store for local residences to learn more about water conservation,<br />
collection, and water quality. As part of the community outreach The Home Depot would reflect on this project and the joint efforts<br />
of the SWFWMD. This allows possible opportunities for the district to join in and combine efforts in enforcing water conservation<br />
and discussing the ordinances of flood protection.<br />
