Rainwater Saving Community Scheme
At Outwood Common: St John the Divine, 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 Christ Church, Emmanuel, St. John the Divine and St. Mary Magdalene, Billericay and Little Burstead, the average annual rainfall of 600-700mm in the Chelmsford 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.
