Greywater Question




Spoke with our water bureau guy today about putting in a reed bed greywater
system.

The current policy around here is to put both grey and black water into a
septic tank and out to a sub-terrenean leech field - standard stuff.

He says that all that extra greywater into a septic helps it along because
it dilutes the black water.

Given that this works quite well ( according to him) the question he had for
me was, why bother with the extra expense of a reed bed system ?

I must confess that all I could come up with was a sputtered sort of " well,
because it's, like, Cool !"

So,  apart from that emminently worthy reason, I was wondering if some of
you could chime in with other reasons for putting in a reed bed greywater
system.

.... Like, Please !
