[Ccpg] Fwd: Want a Greywater Laundry system installed?--we are looking for workshop sites for our water harvesting certification course

[Bob Banner]

Watershed Management Group will hold its first Water Harvesting 
Certification course in Santa Barbara, from August 19-28.We are still 
seeking locations for some of the course workshops.  Please read more 
below.  Site visits need to be done this week and next so we need to 
hear from you as soon as possible if you are interested.

The WMG Water Harvesting Certification provides a unique, hands-on 
65-hour curriculum in water harvesting systems design and construction, 
with an emphasis on retrofitting urban areas while working in concert 
with the local environment. The course teaches design, implementation, 
and installation of greywater systems, water harvesting earthworks, and 
plastic and steel cisterns.

The WMG Water Harvesting Certification program provides the highest 
quality and greatest depth of training in integrative water harvesting 
offered in the nation. In the last two years, WMG has trained over 80 
people through our Water Harvesting Certification from throughout the 
U.S., Mexico, and Canada.

This Santa Barbara course will feature sessions taught by a variety of 
experts including *Santa Barbara’s Art Ludwig and Tucson’s Brad Lancaster*.

We are seeking locations for our hands-on workshops, including 
integrated design, earthworks, a steel culvert cistern installation, 
plastic rain tank,  and laundry to landscape greywater system.  We would 
like at least some of these sites to be in the public eye, so the 
community as a whole can see that they can happen, that they can work, 
and how they work.  We ask that sites used for our workshops be 
available from time to time in the future for educational tours such as 
the one we are having at the beginning of our course.  There are some 
possible  costs involved in hosting a WHC workshop, including costs of 
materials, contractors if needed, such as a plumber for a greywater 
system, and labor fees, but we have found that installations done during 
our courses typically run 30-50% less than comparable commercial work.

The first step to hosting a workshop is to schedule a site visit with 
Barbara Wishingrad.  The next step would be a second visit confirming 
your residence as a workshop site for the course.  This would be done 
during the third week of July.  We are scheduling second visits this 
week. The homeowner or property manager would need to be available 
during these visits as well as the time of the workshop during the week 
of August 19-28.  I can give you more details and answer any questions 
in a follow up email or phone call or when we meet in person.
