At EarthCare Landscaping we are dedicated to promoting and practicing the principles of sustainable/ecological landscaping in the Bay area.
Type the title here"Laundry to Landscape", perhaps the biggest positive change in CA greywater, is diverting the clothes washing machine water from the sewer and using it instead in the landscape. Given that even the most efficient, newer washing machines use about 15 to 20 gallons of water per load(the typical older models use from 35 to 55 gallons), at the average use of 7 1/2 loads/week this can add up to over 7000 gallons of water savings over the course of a year.
Often we can install a complete laundry to landscape system for under $1000.
Now if you would like to do even more for water conservation, we can install a complete, whole-house grey water system that connects all applicable fixtures, e.g., bathroom sinks, tubs & showers, laundry room sink and the clothes washing machine. For this type of fully automated and permit necessary system we typically use ReWater.
For houses that are new or are undergoing extensive remodeling the costs of this greywater system can add $6000 to an irrigation system or around $8,000 for existing houses.
