Marco Island Going Green

A Marco Island resident on San Marco Road has converted his old septic tanks to a cistern after hooking up to the public sewer system.    Rain gutters from the house are drained into the old septic tank and the water is pumped out to water the lawn using hydrostatic pressure.

It is calculated that this homeowner uses about 90 gallons of water per hour to water his lawn.  Just think of the impact Marco Island would have on the enviroment if everyone converted their septic tank into a cistern.
