Yes — rainwater harvesting is completely legal in Georgia and actively supported for non-potable uses like irrigation, toilet flushing, and fire protection. The state encourages sustainable water practices, and rainwater systems can help reduce runoff and water bills. Projects must follow basic plumbing codes and should use proper filtration and backflow prevention if connected to indoor systems. Always consult your local municipality or county for specific permitting guidelines.

Fire Tanks
Correctly sizing a fire protection tank is critical to meeting NFPA 22 standards and ensuring adequate water availability during an emergency. Tank size is typically determined by required fire flow, system demand duration, and refill capabilities. Engineers must consider factors like the occupancy hazard classification, distance from municipal water sources, and pump capacity. Always consult local fire codes and AHJs (Authorities Having Jurisdiction) when finalizing specs.
