Reports by Consumers

This consumer reports on the infrastructure at Earthaven Ecovillage, including the hot water.

The roads within Earthaven are gravel with bridges over the streams suitable for heavy trucks. There are numerous well used walking paths through the forest between buildings and neighborhoods. Several mountain streams meander through the property. Fourteen natural springs provide drinking water. There are filtered water stations strategically placed around the site. Hot water comes from solar water heaters. Electricity is generated by photovoltaic panels on the roof of each building and one small hydroelectric power plant that provides power to the central neighborhood. Toilets are composting and peeing in the woods is encouraged. There are small propane tanks (like the kind used for BBQ grilles) used for cooking.
