Reusing Water
Greywater is the name for
household wastewater that runs out of the bath, shower, washing machine,
dishwasher and the kitchen and bathroom sinks. It doesn’t include water
that runs out of the toilet, which is known as blackwater.
Some houses have a greywater system installed with a collection tank
and special plumbing to reuse greywater on the garden and even to flush
the toilet. To reuse greywater safely it is very important to keep it
clean by not letting any food or oils go down the kitchen sink.
Contact your local water service provider or local council to find out about installing a greywater
system in your home.
