Rainwater Catchment
An estimated 30,000 to 60,000 people in the state of Hawai‘i are dependent on a rainwater catchment system for their water needs. The majority of those people are located on the island of Hawai‘I in the Puna, Ka‘ū, and Hāmākua districts. With proper design, maintenance, and water treatment, a rainwater catchment system can provide water that is relatively free of contamination, soft, clear, and odorless; this water can be used for drinking, bathing, washing, flushing, laundry, and gardening.(1) But if the system is not properly designed and maintained, it can be a source of serious health risk and illness.
It is very important that those using water from a rainwater catchment system understand all of the potential dangers. In Hawai‘i, there are no government agencies overseeing the safety of your catchment system. It is up to you as the owner or user of the system to know how to maintain the water source and use it in a manner appropriate for yourself and your family.
Many people using a rainwater catchment system have never noticed a problem with their water system. This could be because they do not have any problems, but it may also be due to the fact that problems with water systems are not always obvious. Some problems may take years to show up, and then it is too late. Some people can be immune to many water-tank pathogens, or they may be infected but not show symptoms, but a visitor could drink the same water and become ill. Likewise, a healthy adult may not become ill, but an elderly person or an infant—people that are particularly susceptible to illnesses caused by contaminated water—could become deathly ill from drinking water from the same catchment system.
