Rainwater Saving Community Scheme

At Woodham Mortimer: St Margaret, the II listed building presents an excellent opportunity for implementing a community rainwater harvesting system. As a historically significant building, 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 Woodham Mortimer with Hazeleigh, 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.
