Greywater Systems Workshop: Demonstration, Installation, & Permitting

Come join the Camp Fire Restoration Project and Paradise Permaculture for a day of learning about greywater systems and their role in our communities. California is experiencing an increase in wildfire occurrences and severity, exasperated by drought conditions. Greywater systems are a cost-efficient, eco-friendly, LEGAL way to recycle your household water and create lush, healthy defensible space around your home.

Learn from local permaculture expert Ed Fortenberry, local contractors, and a licensed plumber who can speak to the permits and codes relating to greywater systems in California and Paradise specifically. Come prepared with all of your questions! There will be a full day of learning, community, and hands-on fun to be had by all.
