Lower your water bill with a Valley Water laundry-to-landscape graywater rebate

Did you know you can save thousands of gallons of water and money on your water bill every year by reusing the water from your washing machine? A laundry-to-landscape graywater system is the perfect solution for environmentally conscious homeowners in Santa Clara County. Valley Water offers a graywater rebate of up to $400 to cover the cost of materials and make installation even more affordable. With a laundry-to-landscape system, you can easily send rinse water from your washing machine to your yard, which is perfect for most landscapes, including decorative and fruit trees, shrubs, and vines.

With the proper detergent, graywater is also great for the environment and can help conserve our precious water resources. All you need to do is make sure your washing machine is near an exterior wall or has a crawl space below and use natural soaps and detergents. When using regular detergent, bleach, or fabric softeners, you can close the diversion valve, and the water will go to the drain instead of your yard, keeping it safe.
