Clothes Washer Greywater Workshop  

Hands-On Two Day Workshop "Gets You to Installed"
With Help From Professionals - October 8 & 9

Santa Monica, CA - The City of Santa Monica is partnering with Greywater Action to provide Santa Monica homeowners with all the parts and know-how required to install a clothes washer greywater system for landscape irrigation for free.  Greywater is the wastewater originating from clothes washers, bathroom sinks, showers, and bathtubs.  Greywater is a valuable resource that can be safely used in a drip irrigation system to water shrubs and trees and some types of vegetable gardens.

 A family of four may generate as much as 12,000 gallons of greywater each year from their clothes washer alone.   

Day 1: Participants receive a free greywater system parts kit and step-by-step instructions to design their own clothes washer greywater system.    

Day 2: Participants install their systems at home.  Staff from Greywater Action and the city will visit each home to provide trouble-shooting assistance.

When: Saturday & Sunday, October 8 & 9, 2011

Time: 8 to 5 PM

Criteria: single-family or duplexes suitable for a clothes washer greywater system.
Registration: Pre-registration is required by September 23, 2011.  Only 30 spaces are available!
