At CoHo Ecovillage (in rainy Corvallis, Oregon), we have 3 washers and 2 dryers shared among 26 of our 34 households (the rest have washers/dryers in their units). Folks who use Common House washers and then line dry (either outside or inside the Common House or their own units) check off the number of loads on a list. Each line-dried load "earns" $.40 (the amount saved in electric costs) which goes into a sustainability fund. So far, the funds have been used to purchase more line-drying racks which residents can borrow from the common house. We also have 4 standard sets of outdoor lines (2 outside the laundry room). Our units have heat recovery ventilators which help deal with added moisture inside our buildings. One added benefit of sharing laundry facilities in the common house is more interaction among residents. Our laundry room is also our rec room, our exercise room, our game/puzzle storage room, our CoHo business bulletin board room, and our free-to-good-home box room. All of these uses bring folks together. -- Susan Hyne
