on GREYWATER DESIGN and INSTALLATION
Public Safety Bldg, 199 S. 6th St., Cottonwood AZ 

All new construction in Cottonwood is required to be plumbed to accomodate greywater use.  Because most builders, plumbers & landscapers are not up to date on greywater, most new construction does not take advantage of the greywater it is plumbed for.  To promote the use of this underutilized resource, the City is offering this free breakfast seminar for the trades.

Rainwater Harvesting For Drylands

Since 1993, Brad has run a successful permaculture consulting, design, & education business focused on integrated & sustainable approaches to landscape design, planning, and living.  At his home in the Sonoran Desert, Brad & his brother harvest over 100,000 gallons of rainwater a year on a 1/8th acre urban lot and adjoining right-of-way. This harvested water is then turned into living air conditioners of food-bearing shade trees, abundant gardens, and a thriving landscape incorporating wildlife habitat, beauty, edible and medicinal plants, and more.
