Daily Acts invites your join us Saturday, August 12th for a FREE graywater workshop, where we will tap into this money- saving resource and learn how to help your garden oasis ourish with less water waste.Graywater is the gently used water from your laundry machine, shower, tub, and bathroom sink, which can be easily rerouted to irrigate your landscape. Basically, your plants will love it and you!
The Laundry-to-Landscape (L2L) system is an easy and a ordable DIY project with no permit required, and saves thousands of gallons per year.In
this hands-on workshop, we’ll lay out everything you need to know to install your own Laundry- to-Landscape system. We’ll discuss system design, the
best plants for graywater, cost, codes, soaps, and tips and tricks for installation. Then we’ll get hands-on to actually install a L2L system at a Cotati residence. Participants who are Cotati water customers will be eligible to take home a
free graywater parts kit valued at $100 and generously provided by the City. Petaluma and Windsor water customers may also be able to pick up parts kits at the workshop.Whether this is your rst time getting involved with Daily Acts or you are an ongoing supporter, we invite you to get your clothes clean and your hands dirty with graywater!Interested people should sign up at dailyacts.org or call (707) 789-9664.
