As part of Sunset Magazine's illustrious Idea House series, WaterSprout designed and installed a greywater system irrigating the green roof and a rainwater system supplying toilets and laundry with water. The home dubbed La Casa Verde was designed to be one of the first LEED certified residential remodeled homes in the nation and was completed back in 2007.


 In addition to the greywater and rainwater system it featured other cutting-edge technology including: photovoltaic electrical generation, a wind turbine, “smart” computer-controlled house system, living roofs and ecological materials, yielding a self-sustaining house with zero-net energy usage.
