Making Good Use of Greywater on Your Property

Greywater is usually considered wastewater from minor household applications such as washing dishes, doing laundry or bathing. It does not include wastewater from heavy chemicals or drainage from petroleum products and other toxic substances. Greywater can be processed and used for purposes such as irrigating trees, grass and some food crops. Capturing and utilizing greywater can help to conserve supplies of fresh or treated rainwater, and it only takes a little bit of work to develop a capture and discharge system on your property.
