Solano County Laundry-to-Landscape Greywater Survey

Sustainable Solano offers Laundry-to-Landscape Greywater installation workshops to help get more of these water-saving systems into local homes. This survey will help determine if your site might be a good fit for a greywater workshop.

A laundry-to-landscape greywater system is a simple system that runs the wash water from your laundry out to the yard to water trees and other plants in your landscape — saving water and saving your trees! These systems do not require a permit in California, and include a valve you can use to direct water out to the landscape or back to the sewer if you need to.

This survey should take about 5-10 minutes to complete.
