Greywater Installation Workshop

Want to learn how to install a legal greywater system in your backyard? Using greywater to irrigate plants is a great way to reduce water use in water-starved California. 

Greywater expert Forrest Linebarger, principal of the local sustainable design firm Vox Design Group, will be leading this GreenTown Los Altos workshop that will teach the fundamentals of greywater system design and installation. 

Participants will learn the do’s and don’ts of greywater, what fixtures are appropriate to tap for greywater, and how best to use the water in landscaping.  Participants will help with the installation of a laundry greywater system and gain lots of practical installation tips.  Kids are welcome.

What to bring:

  • Garden gloves
  • Wear gardening appropriate clothing 
  • Sack lunch and water

Activity Level:

  • Moderate. Some light digging and working with pipes at ground level.
