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 !
