Rainwater storage in the garage?

How much does it cost? Does it need to be approved?

So 2000 € I find a bit expensive.

I just checked with Aunt Google. The first entry states that a 500-liter tank costs only about 40 €. So where are the remaining more than 1900 € supposed to be used? There will probably be a connection to the sewer anyway, so no additional costs, and just running a wastewater pipe into the garage can’t cost that much. Or can it? Considering that I myself just buried a 4000-liter underground tank and had to lay new pipes, drainage channels, etc., this part cost quite a bit less than what is being asked for here. However, I did everything myself. But still, as I said, this seems a bit expensive to me.

With us, the well with deep well pump, 10m drilling, pressure switch, piping for two connections cost just under T€ 1. It is cheaper with a domestic water system.

But a well does not work everywhere either.

That's true. However, you can inquire whether you are allowed to build a well.

In a hot summer, the well is not very useful, depending on its depth. Because then it is also empty or only minimally usable.

I quote from the information of the Enzkreis:

Drilling a Well

The extraction and use of groundwater requires – in addition to notification – a so-called water law permit. Only in exceptional cases is the use permit-free. Such an exception exists, for example, if groundwater is to be extracted only in small quantities to supply one’s own home garden. The use of the water for other purposes (e.g., for a swimming pool or for irrigating agricultural land) and the extraction of water to an extent that significantly exceeds minor use require a water law permit.

§ 49 Water Resources Act (WHG) and §§ 43, 49 Water Act for Baden-Württemberg

Permit: §§ 8 et seq. Water Resources Act (WHG)

Permit-free use, so-called common use: § 46 Water Resources Act (WHG)

It is best if you call your local municipality.
