    Collecting from common laundry rooms for multi-family housing  project is a no brainer. Lots of water generated from a single location makes for simple & inexpensive plumbing. Often times the laundry can supply 100% of irrigation demand for urban projects. Getting the residents to use appropriate laundry detergents is critical for healthy plants and soils. Luckily we have proven strategies to make these systems work.   Related Project | Spring Lake | Architect | Kuckman Architects PC | General Contractor | Sunseri Construction, Inc |
