Join for week of sustainable hands-on Graywater workshops and events for professionals and DIYers.
Coming up October 27-31!

Once more RMEC teamed up with the Denver Department of Public Health & Environment, the Colorado Water Conservation Board, and QWEL to offer trainings on sustainable water technologies.

Our two upcoming courses, co-hosted by Denver's Department of Public Health and Environment and RMEC are designed to help you make the most of this cost-efficient upgrade.


For all DIY-ers and Home-owners: 


Want to install a Graywater system in your home?


Denver homeowners can sign up for a half-day workshop on Laundry to Landscape Graywater Systems. Join us to learn how to divert water from your washer to irrigate your landscape, following Colorado’s Graywater regulations and getting ahead on the permitting process. This class is perfect for those looking to conserve water at home. Denver residents may also qualify for free plumbing parts kits valued at $400. 

October 27 from 12- 4pm

For Water Professionals and Installers:


Learn how to design and build residential and commercial
Graywater systems.


Continuing Education Credits are available for this course.

This course is being offered free of charge thanks to sponsorship from DDPHE, the Colorado Water Conservation Board, and Denver Water. The value of this course is $495.
