The ReWater System is the only
irrigation system that pays for itself because it is the only system that
provides its own water. That water has value as irrigation water, and our
system uses it extremely efficiently too. That water also has additional value from being
removed from the wastewater treatment stream. In areas where your
wastewater rates are tied to your fresh water usage, the wastewater value from a
ReWater system is
as much or more than the fresh water value.
If no reusable water is produced on any given day, or not enough water is
produced for the irrigation program(s) that day, at midnight the ReWater system automatically
supplements any balance of that day's irrigation program(s) with city water.
This supplemental city water is then used 30% - 60% more efficiently in ReWater's underground
drip irrigation network.
Once the system pays for itself, it returns a profit. By using our
cost/benefit analyses spreadsheet, you can determine how fast a system will pay
for itself. Simply input a small number of years into the "system life"
cell of the spreadsheet. Start with "10", then look at the bottom cell on
the lower right side. If that cell is still a positive number, then input
a smaller number into the "system life" cell until the bottom cell reaches "0"
or near zero. "0" in that bottom cell indicates the system has paid for
itself. From that point, adding additional years to the system's life
expectancy increases the amount of money you earn from the system.
