Why send your property’s water down the drain when you could reuse it to irrigate the plants and trees in your yard instead? Many Californians are taking advantage of this simple idea and are installing laundry-to-landscape greywater systems to keep their gardens green. During water shortages or droughts, greywater systems can be a reliable supply of water for your plants.

Livermore Municipal Water is now offering rebates up to $100 for customers to install laundry-to-landscape greywater systems.

Rebate Terms & Conditions

• This rebate is only available for residential properties with one or two units that are located within Livermore Municipal Water’s service area.

• This rebate can only be used for laundry-to-landscape greywater systems. Greywater systems that include water from sinks, showers, or bathtubs or that alter the building’s plumbing system are excluded.

• This rebate can be used towards reimbursing the cost of any supplies listed on the City of Livermore Laundry-to-Landscape Greywater System Example Sheet below. This rebate cannot be used towards sales tax or the cost of any deliveries, installation, labor, personal items, equipment rentals, or tools.
