The Greywater Alliance invites you to join us for our 2010, five-part
series of discussions and presentations for the Bay Area greywater
community. After the recent improvement to the state greywater code, we
are facilitating local action by bringing people and ideas together in five
targeted greywater roundtables, with building professionals, designers,
city inspectors and planners, policy makers, water district staff, and
greywater advocates.
“The New California Greywater Standards:
Perspectives on Permit Compliance”
We will be discussing successes and challenges in getting residential
greywater systems (simple and complex) permitted through the Standards
adopted last year.
Roger Rushing, City of Berkeley, Senior Green Building Inspector
Others TBA
Also, this month we will have the second installment of the Greywater
Systems Presentation, an informative visual examination of a simple
greywater system being permitted in Oakland, as well as other examples from
around the Bay Area. These presentations will be more technically detailed
than the discussions have been thus far and will go over compliance with
plumbing and design standards ((burial depth, backwater valve, soil tests,
etc).
Mark your calendars now for the rest of the events:
September 30: “Perceived vs. Actual Risks: Greywater and Pathogens.” Dr.
Kara Nelson, College of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of
California, Berkeley, and others TBD.
November 18: TBD
All meetings will feature program updates from participants and
discussions of strategies, challenges, and successes.
We’re looking forward to seeing you at these gatherings and to a
productive year for greywater in the Bay Area.
