Morro Bay, CA – November 4, 2009. On Tuesday, November 10^th from 5pm – 8pm at the Morro Bay Vets Hall, the City of Morro Bay is hosting a SLO Green Build Graywater Workshop for Morro Bay residents interested in water conservation.

The Workshop will cover:

• How to calculate graywater discharge, landscape, and surface area requirements
• Plumbing techniques, materials, and discharge options
• Do’s and Don’t of graywater systems
• Maintenance programs
• Comparative costs, complexities, and environmental footprints of various graywater systems
