Grey Water
Grey water is wastewater from non-toilet plumbing fixtures such as showers, basins and taps. Depending on its use, grey water can require less treatment than black water (toilet, kitchen water) and generally contains fewer pathogens. Treated grey water can be re-used indoors for toilet flushing and clothes washing, both of which are significant consumers of water. Grey water can also be used for garden watering. Homes in Lochiel Park do not require grey water re-use however home owners can pursue this course if they choose to save even more water.
Below are some useful links to further information from SAWater and the Your Home Technical Manual about the re-use of waste water.
