Graywater is a fantastic method to prioritize the plants you want to be more resilient to drought and a hotter climate. If you have an existing irrigation system, identify a zone/valve that can be shut off and replaced with graywater.
Trees, shrubs, and vines are appropriate choices for this type of graywater system. Design a simple, effective system by knowing:
- Which plants you want to send graywater to
- About how much water they may need
- About how much graywater you make in your home
The specific plants you decide to irrigate with graywater will depend on how frequently you do laundry, the type of clothes washer you have, the climate near your home, and the types of plants you’re irrigating. If you apply for the rebate, we’ll help.
