Environmentally, this lifestyle leans heavily on natural, green energy - helping you reduce your carbon footprint. For yourself and your family, you reduce the financial burden of public utility costs as well as a greater control over your physical health. This type of lifestyle, while difficult in the beginning has significant benefits. Off-grid homes and buildings will often generate their electricity from solar, wind and rain elements - which factors into the method of water production.
This change does not necessarily make you less environmentally friendly, but for the purposes of our topic here we’ll focus on homesteaders that choose to remain disconnected.
Off grid water system full#
Going Off-GridĪlso known as dry cabins, homes aiming for full self-sufficiency are built without any indoor plumbing system, but can get reconfigured if the owners decide to tap into the local utility company or a generator. A completely self-sustainable lifestyle does not after all include the city utility department. The abundant access to sewage services and freshwater in the 21st century has made water a utility that gets taken for granted, with farmers and homesteaders the concern becomes very real and more urgent. While it’s not a concern that many people consider, a steady and reliable water supply for your home can become an issue if you live an off-grid lifestyle.
