Laundry to Landscape Greywater System Rebate Program

Glendale Water & Power has launched its Laundry to Landscape (L2L) Greywater System Program that offers a rebate of up to $500 (not to exceed the total cost of installation) to residential customers for properly connecting their washing machine to a greywater irrigation system. These systems are designed to reuse the water from a washing machine to irrigate plants.

To qualify for the program, the rebate application must be submitted no more than 12 months from the date of the greywater system installation. GWP customers must also provide a copy of the receipt or invoice for the system, photograph of the installed greywater system and a copy of labor receipt with the rebate application. Under the California greywater code, CPC Title 24, Part 5, Chapter 16, installing a L2L greywater system does not require a City permit as long as the installer follows the minimum requirements of the code outlined on the application.
