Water Legacy has spent the past two years working on developing a product that is easily installed in new residential construction.  The need for other applications of the design is becoming apparent as we have designed a unit for a dormitory at the University of Colorado (http://www.newsinfo.colostate.edu/index.asp?url=news_item_display&news_item_id=307579497)

Water legacy has also recently been featured on a YouTube video in conjunction with Service Master to explain the systems function and capability. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbschsK_tNk.  Help promote greywater re-use in your area and if you need expert advice on a system installation call Michael Vail at 303-587-9147 or email him at mvail@waterlegacy.com

·                   October 2, 2009    Las Cruces, NM and Boulder , CO -   Bob Pofahl, developer of Picacho Mountain and Michael Vail, President of Water Legacy, LLC have made Water Legacy’s Greywater Reuse system, the WL55, available to all home buyers in the Picacho Mountain.  Picacho Mountain is Southern New Mexico’s and El Paso region’s only certified build green community and Water Legacy is the only US built and IAPMO fully listed and certified greywater reuse system.  The two companies are natural partners for the promotion of greywater reuse.

·                   Building Green and promotion of conservation in a new home development is not new, but the commitment to lead in cutting edge technology, incorporation of greywater systems and supporting green building techniques through a show room of available technology is new.

·                   Water Legacy’s WL55 can save a home up to 40% of its water usage by simply recycling the shower water to use in toilet flushing. Homes Picacho Mountain development homes will be initially plumbed for this type of reuse system and homeowners can gain additional  points toward LEED and Build Green NM in a simple installation.

In the Fall/Winter 2009 issue of Conservation Magazine they featured 14 homes making a difference through the use of sustainable products and solar energy.  Only one home, the Logan-Wiggins House 3 was able to claim water saving technology through greywater reuse in toilet flushing.  Jim Logan, a renown Boulder Architect chose the Water Legacy WL55 to recycle his shower and washing machine water for toilet flushing.  PLease visit the website of Conservation Magazine at www.ConservationCenter.org/e-solarweek.htm for more information.
