Water
Saving Information
The Greywater Guild is on the scene, a group of professionals banded together to ensure that the quality of their work remains at its highest.
Their goals include:
- Education of the public about the value and availability of greywater conservation.
- Promotion of the successful installation of the large number of simple sustainable greywater systems necessary to significantly reduce the amount of water drawn from local rivers and aquifers.
- Providing a means for the homeowner to maintain their landscapes through greywater irrigation instead of fresh water irrigation
- Encouragement of the use of simple sustainable systems that minimize environmental impact and maximize longevity.
- Providing sustainable livelihoods to environmentally concerned individuals and companies working toward water conservation.
You may learn more about them through their website: http://www.montereygreywater.com/ or call 831 373 6752.
