The Workshop will provide information and assistance on how to design specific home greywater systems.
Using a properly designed greywater system, people can recapture water from their showers, bathroom sinks, and laundry for landscaping use.
The speakers will be Dave Conway, Director, Environmental Health Division, Mariposa County Public Health Department and Regina Hirsch, Principal at Sierra Watershed Progressive. Master Gardeners will also be available to answer questions.
