Install a Greywater Reuse System and Get a $1000 Rebate
Greywater systems collect and filter the water from your shower or bathtub so you can reuse the water to flush your toilets. With a greywater system, you could use up to 30% less water and save money on your water bill.
A greywater reuse system automatically makes your home eligible for Blue Built Home certification.
