Demand for Greywater Systems Surge During Drought

With a full house that includes her husband, two young daughters and two dogs, homeowner Erin Payne is constantly doing laundry, sometimes one load every day.

“All of our pets and kids and being out in the dirt,” she said. “It’s a lot.”

But Payne said one thing that always bothered her was all the water going to waste, not only for laundry but other things. “All of our showers and baths and bathroom sinks are all connected, so the combination is quite a bit of water,” she said.
