Rainwater Saving Community Scheme

At Calder Vale: Mission, the Not listed / not applicable listed building presents an excellent opportunity for implementing a community rainwater harvesting system. The church can significantly reduce its water bills by collecting rainwater from its roof catchment area.

The harvested rainwater can be used for:

• Watering the church garden and grounds
• Flushing toilets in the church hall
• Cleaning church furnishings and floors
• Irrigation for community allotments run by the church
• Emergency water supply for community events

With the church's location in Scorton, St. Peter & Barnacre All Saints And Calder Vale St. John The Evangeli, the average annual rainfall of 600-700mm in the Blackburn diocese area makes rainwater harvesting a viable and sustainable solution. The system would help protect the historic fabric of the building by managing water runoff more effectively, while also engaging the local community in sustainable practices.
