Santa Cruz County Greywater Harvesting Workshop

To promote the use of Greywater, a free breakfast seminar is also being offered for construction trades. Contractors, plumbers, landscape professionals, designers, public officials and others interested in these water savings techniques are invited. During this special presentation experts will discuss design and installation of greywater systems, relevant building codes, consumer marketing and tax credits for builders of up to $200 per residential unit constructed with a greywater harvesting system.

International expert Brad Lancaster, author of Rainwater Harvesting for drylands, will lead the informative sessions. Since 1993, Brad has run a successful permaculture consulting, design, & education business focused on integrated and sustainable approaches to landscape design, planning, and living. At his home in Tucson, Brad and his brother harvest over 100,000 gallons of rainwater a year on a 1/8th acre urban lot and adjoining right-of-way.
