Solution

As with all projects which need to obtain specific permitting, there were a few challenges that needed to be addressed before moving forward. Although they did not have specific guidelines to follow, Alberta Heath’s concerns needed to be taken into consideration. Net
Zero Water’s rainwater harvesting system would need to comply with any regulatory requirements that could potentially come up.

As a result, a Tier 3 treatment design was created, including filtration, UV disinfection and chlorine injection for residual disinfection that would meet the draft CSA/ICC B805-201x Rainwater Harvesting Systems standard for RWH. Net Zero Water also submitted a Water Safety Plan to Alberta Health for additional reassurance that the system addresses all stringent regulatory reviews for public health protection.

With Net Zero Water’s ability to meet all treatment and potential regulatory requirements, the customer was able to provide the right solution for the application.
