One condominium community
in San Diego County attempted to
capture ground water and spent
upwards of $30,000.00 for an engineer
to design a system. When all was set
up and functioning, the contracted
landscape company for the community
soon noticed that plant material began
to die at the level where water was
hitting it. An analysis of the water
revealed that while water was tested
for human waste, it wasn’t tested
for minderals that would negatively
impact plant material. This community
had to abandon the costly system
and revert back to potable water
distributed by their City in order to
save the landscaping.
would have to be distributed manually. Manual
distribution increases the cost of landscaping
services thus negating potential financial savings.

While the concept of capturing water is an excellent notion
in theory, the reality is not applicable to a condominium
community. It is best applied in a single family home setting
where an owner can control the use and distribution of the
water to the plant material in any manner that makes sense.
