Water that drains out of our washing machines, bathtubs and showers is graywater. Graywater can be reused in the yard to water plants and trees. Although graywater use is common in some areas, recycling graywater is controversial in other areas.
As of August 2009 Laundry-to-Landscape systems can be installed in California without a permit. Learn more about these systems at the Casitas Municipal Water District’s free Gray Water Workshop this Saturday, January 28, 2012 from 9:00 am to noon. To register, RSVP to Ron Merckling by email (make link rmerckling@casitaswater.com), or by phone at 805-649-2251 ext 118.
See the Casistas Municipal Water District website for other programs and events.
Graywater systems can be used to irrigate landscapes. These systems conserve potable water for human consumption.
