This handbook has been developed to provide practical information for the collection, storage and use of rainwater within an urban environment on private residential property. The Rainwater Tank Design and Installation Handbook has been developed by the Australian Rainwater Industry Development Association (ARID) to assist Local Councils, Plumbers, Builders/Developers and homeowners. It outlines the minimum standards and performance requirements criteria for all development works associated with carrying out rainwater tank installations within private property. It applies to new rainwater tank installations as well as alterations, additions, maintenance and repairs to existing installations.
