Make every drop count.
Design it right.
Improve the safety, efficiency, and environmental health impact of non-potable water use systems through appropriate designs that reduce potential for contact and maximize infiltration areas and distribution uniformity.
Build it right.
Building efficient and durable systems requires both substantial technical and tactile skills, as well as access to professional tools and knowledge of code and regulations pertaining to multiple trades (Plumbing, Electrical, Irrigation, Landscaping) .
Teach it right.
A main challenge facing widespread adoption is the relative scarcity of qualified installers available to meet the growing demand. ALT Water Trainings address this challenge through a multi-strategy learning theory-based format.

Chris Reamer.
Since beginning work in 2009 building greywater systems for a local eco-landscaping firm (Organic Landscapes, Inc.), through the launch of his own independent design/ build and education businesses, Chris Reamer has worked extensively throughout the West Coast USA at the cutting edge of landscape water conservation. Awarded the "Water Awareness of the Year” award for Business in 2013 from the City of Santa Rosa, Chris has forged diverse alliances in the Alternate water sphere and is excited to bring this imperative work to a greater audience.
Our history.
ALT Water was founded in 2019 by Chris Reamer while working as an independent contractor and educator in diverse fields of landscape water conservation, greywater, rainwater, and stormwater management, Chris identified the need for an organization bringing all the different alternate water(s) together under one school of thought. Building on the tremendous work of mentors and partner organizations, ALT Water presents a streamlined game changing approach to inspire, improve, promote and implement alternate water-use systems for widespread adoption.
Working smart and working together.

The ecological ethos of water stewardship.
Being conscious of the impact of our wastewater means being judicious with choosing appropriate products, natural filtration methods and conscientious system siting to prevent contamination to local environments.
