Her recent work in Oregon, California and other drought-affected areas have given Laura extensive experience working with local residents and officials to bring relevant regulatory change. She is a member of the Technical Team for the 2023 update of IAMPO/ANSI Water Efficiency and Sanitation Standard for the Build Environment. Known as WE Stand, this code covers dry toilet systems, urine diversion, thermophilic compost treatment, and water reuse. The code is available for adoption by states and local jurisdictions to address climate change and improve environmental health with resilient eco-sanitation systems. Laura will be back on November 29th with a second session: Waterwise Homes & Landscapes - Greywater Reuse & Rainwater Harvesting.
