Grey water
So my plumbing code refers to grey water systems in chapter 15 as "Alternate water sources for nonpotable applications." I'm sort of unfamiliar with grey water in general because Oregon removed it from the specialty plumbing code.
This 'customer' is trying to tell me that dumping washing machine discharge into the yard is perfectly legal. After doing some reading, I can't say that she's wrong, at least in a general sense, but it appears that there are definitely a lot more requirements to it than just dumping it on your lawn so that it is green.
I personally wouldn't want any of my waste water dumping on my lawn. I'd rather have a dead lawn because the water bill is too high than have smelly grass.
Thoughts?
