Greywater:
What is it? Greywater
is wastewater from:
-
bathtubs,
- showers,
- bathroom sinks,
- washing
machines,
- dishwashers and kitchen sinks,
- any source in your home
other than toilets.
Greywater can be

bacteria, viruses, and chemicals that pose a risk to public health
and the environment if mishandled.
