We are a design/build rainwater harvesting company specializing in rainwater management. Primarily, a rainwater harvesting system collects rainwater from the roof, delivers it to a storage tank, and is distributed to augment current water sources. HCS provides a comprehensive approach to the planning and implementation of your system. We consider the design aesthetic, reliable performance and low maintenance of a rainwater system for dependable use for many, many years.
Rainwater harvesting services we provide include:
  • collection and storage of rainwater to supplement current water use.
  • distribution for efficient irrigation use in gardening and decorative landscaping.
  • provide supplemental well water storage for integration during drought conditions.
  • experienced consultants to resolve most drainage problems.
  • passive rainwater collection for rain gardens and infiltration.
  • how to conserve water to minimize your usage.
  • potable and non potable water use within the home, in some instances.
This rainwater collection system exemplifies the practical
and aesthetic applications of rainwater harvesting.
The following incentives are provided to assist investment in rainwater harvesting:

  • NEW! Beginning July 1st, the City of Austin will offer a rebate up to $5,000 for a pre-approved, non-potable outdoor-use system. The rebate will be $0.50 per gallon for a non-pressurized system and $1.00 per gallon for a pressurized system. The maximum rebate can apply only to 50% of the cost of the system.
  • The Texas Tax Code was amended in 2001 to allow taxing units of government the option to exempt from taxation all or part of the assessed value of the property on which water conservation modifications have been made. (Homeowners planning to install rainwater harvesting systems should check with their respective county appraisal districts for guidance on exemption from county property taxes.)
  • This same bill also exempts rainwater harvesting equipment and supplies from sales tax.
  • The 78th Legislature enacted HB 645 which prevents homeowner associations from enforcing certain restrictions on homeowners that could undermine water conservation initiatives, such as installing rainwater harvesting and drip irrigation systems.
