Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Greywater?

Greywater is lightly used household wastewater that comes from sources like showers, bathtubs, bathroom sinks, and washing machines—but never from toilets or kitchen sinks, which contain higher levels of contaminants. It’s relatively clean and can be safely reused for landscape irrigation when properly filtered and routed, helping reduce potable water use and conserve resources.

 

How Can I Collect My Rebate?

Tucson Water offers a 50% rebate up to $1,000 for installing a permanent residential greywater irrigation system. To qualify, you must attend an approved greywater workshop before installing, then submit a project plan, the official rebate application, and itemized receipts. Eligible costs include design, materials, tanks, filters, pumps, and installation, while non-permanent items like hoses or plants aren’t covered. After installation, submit your paperwork (and a W-9 if the rebate exceeds $600). Only one rebate is allowed per property, and the system must meet Tucson’s plumbing/backflow requirements.

 

How Much Water Will I Save?

ChatGPT said:

A full greywater system—capturing water from showers, tubs, bathroom sinks, and laundry—can typically save 30–50% of a home’s total indoor water use, often amounting to 15,000–40,000+ gallons per year depending on household size and habits. By redirecting this lightly used water to irrigate plants or recharge soil, a greywater system reduces reliance on potable water for landscaping, cuts utility bills, and supports drought-resilient living, especially in arid regions.

Do I Need a Permit For A Greywater System In Tucson, AZ?

In Tucson, whether you need a permit for a greywater system depends on the type of installation. If your system requires modifying existing plumbing or rerouting drainage lines, you’ll need a permit from the city’s Planning & Development Services Department. However, simple systems that use existing stub-outs—like basic laundry-to-landscape setups that don’t alter indoor plumbing—generally do not require a permit.
