Whereas the independent water system consists of a borehole supply and reservoir, a rain water supply and reservoir and a pressurised water filtration and purification system,” said Coates.<\/p>\n “Homeowners that purchase fully or partially off the grid homes not only make a positive impact on the environment but they also provide themselves with a consistent and reliable source of services.<\/p>\n “In addition, they save themselves the high monthly costs associated with paying for these services, invest in the future of their homes and save themselves from increasing tariffs in the future. They\u2019re also likely to get a higher price if they sell. It\u2019s a win-win solution that makes environmental sense, but also great property sense,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
