Greywater lecture

Laura Allen will discuss greywater at the D Street Neighborhood Center at 1301 D Street, Arcata. Laura’s lecture is co-sponsored by FOAM, the City of Arcata, Northcoast Environmental Center, and Humboldt Baykeeper. Laura is the author of The Water-Wise Home: How to Conserve, Capture, and Reuse Water in Your Home and Landscape, and a founding member of Greywater Guerillas, now Greywater Action (www.greywateraction.org). She gives frequent workshops and classes around the state and has helped develop code for greywater plumbing in several jurisdictions. Her book provides an overview of why water conservation is needed, problems with current water systems, methods of saving water inside the home, and practical how-to directions for installing gray water and rainwater harvesting systems in the yard.
