Jill Richardson over at La Vida Locavore wrote a great piece about how California has worked to improve the use of grey water. For people that haven’t heard of grey water, it is a concept of re-using water. A simple example would be to collect shower water and then using it to water plants.
Starting on Aug 4th, the state of California will be loosening its requirements on grey water systems. As Jill points out, California is in a perpetual state of draught, therefore these grey water systems will go a long way towards lessening the states water burden.
Previously, Californians had to buy a permit in order to put grey water systems in place. However, the permit has been removed and citizens are free to put systems in place, assuming they follow a set of rules set forth by the state.
Think of all the possibilities on re-using water on a larger scale. What if every toilet in the nation used grey water instead of fresh water?
