Held in City Heights- San Diego, CA
This 1 day workshop is a unique opportunity for homeowners and skilled professionals including landscapers, plumbers, contractors and builders to learn how to create simple, affordable, effective water conservation strategies. Learn how simple it can be to send your shower water to your landscape.
Did you know that 65-75% of our residential water use is used in the landscape? By re-routing shower greywater from our wastewater treatment facilities to our landscapes we can drastically reduce water consumption throughout San Diego!
Greywater use can be very simple and cost-effective when passive strategies are used. But what are the permitting requirements and best practices around these strategies? We will not only tell you, we will show you in this hands-on workshop!
Topics to be covered including hands-on installation:
Designing and installing water harvesting earthworks.
Fruit tree planting, selection, and care
Gravity fed shower branched drain greywater system with electronic actuator for remote switching
Permitting requirements and variations throughout San Diego
Take a tour of the established no permit required Laundry-to-Landscape system onsite
