Clothes Washer System

  • A Clothes Washer System is a graywater system that simply collects waste water from a washing machine and distributes it to your yard for subsurface irrigation of landscape plants. Clothes washer systems do not receive waste water from any other source. There is no requirement for a construction permit for this type of system.
