*This application is for anyone who wants to receive a graywater parts kit. The questions below will help to determine if a Laundry-to-Landscape system is for you. *
Daily Acts, in partnership with the Town of Windsor, is looking for qualifying homes to share a limited number of laundry-to-landscape graywater kits. This resource is available for all Windsor residents and Windsor water customers. If you are a renter, please get approval from the homeowner to install a laundry-to-landscape graywater system, and reach out if you need support for how to discuss this installation with a homeowner. This installation does not require a permit!
Qualifying homes will be eligible for a FREE graywater parts kit courtesy of the Town of Windsor ($150 value). Any additional parts costs (typically ranging from $50-100) will be the responsibility of the homeowner.
Please review the following information and then complete the questionnaire below.

be willing to pay for the kit with a $150 donation to Daily Acts after 4 months.
