Hey Everyone!
It's pretty hot and dry this time of year! Is your landscape
suffering? It doesn't have to! Using your washing machine water is
a simple, cost effective way to get more water to your trees and
shrubs. It's also a good time to plan for your rain collection so
that this time next year you have an abundance of water resources to
meet your landscape needs. Check out these upcoming opportunities
to learn more! Spread the word!

showers and sinks. We will cover regulations within San Diego as

for water management. You can go home with a kit or individual
parts to get started or work with Brook on a site-appropriate design
