"GRAYWATER GUIDELINES"

Val L. Little

In recent years, with growing populations, water conservation has assumed a much greater importance in our lives. Graywater use is the next step for those committed water conservationists who are already practicing good water-saving behavior. Some people, however, are reluctant to take that step, put off by the thought that a graywater system involves the installation of equipment and possible physical alterations. This booklet will provide a boost to those reluctant, well-meaning individuals.

Written for the novice or layperson, the publication clarifies graywater issues in a simple and straightforward manner and includes helpful illustrations. The text will help readers decide if graywater is suitable for them and provides guidelines on a variety of appropriate materials and methods of system installation. The booklet also contains a copy of the common-sense rules issued by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality for the use of residential graywater.
