Still hoping to touch base with someone that has knowledge or experience with small #septic systems and leach fields.
The immediate question is depth of the trenches. Our nonprofit has community members coming today and tomorrow to dig by hand while soil still moist from Hilary.
I’m leaning towards 18-24” & 40’ of leach pipe. Bad idea? https://www.infiltratorwater.com/blog/five-benefits-of-installing-shallow-onsite-wastewater-treatment-systems/

Using #greywater has been technologically available and many people clandestinely use their laundry#water in their gardens. Glad to see this is finally happening at a #municipal level. #CleanWater https://www.yesmagazine.org/environment/2023/07/11/water-recycling?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=YESDaily_20230724&utm_content=YESDaily_20230724+CID_7263ae0086487193df81fc260785bd9b&utm_source=CM&utm_term=Read%20the%20story

Sustainability level up: using the grey water from washing vegetables and rinsing recycling to water my garden.

You pass the bridge and it smells almost like citrus. The weather is not too hot, and setting up the tent went seamlessly (although I did have help.) Minutes here with kind people and a wealth of #nature and I’m already feeling almost like myself again, or the self that exists beneath all the layers of #trauma and #grief. I jumped right into it and helped #build a shower that will run on a #greywater system. #Grateful and letting the birds sing me and trees speak me out of my sadness.

While in the US, they're experimenting with beer from reused greywater (😮 ) on the back of San Francisco's requirement for new builds to include water reuse, water reuse is still barely on the UK's radar. https://www.theguardian.com/food/2023/may/02/recycled-wastewater-beer-epic-cleantec-san-francisco-drought-california

Interested in #OffGrid #sustainable living?

How does everyone like my #moss? #mosstodon I watered it today with #GreyWater
Looking for community and hope, way off the ill-fated beaten path.
Used to work in a video store. Never was on the birdsite. Tired of bots, trolls, ads, and games of musical deck chairs.
May be a giant broke-ass loser who fails at most everything, but at least I'm not a jerk.

@WWBugs it really is a cool and smart concept.
Why not use our hand-washing water in the toilet bowl? That could save a lot of water!
Even at that low price, though, I can’t see many people doing it. Okay, maybe in the Bay Area, where there seems to be a stronger water-saving ethic than LA.

Today's curiosity: Can you build a #greywater recycling system that also uses said greywater as a #HeatPump heat reservoir?
So much of the energy we use domestically is used for heating water, and a good chunk of that ends up as greywater.
Traditionally, that just gets chucked down a drain to a septic or sewer system, along with all the invested thermal energy. Greywater recycling lets you recycle the water, why not recycle the heat too?

Im in the northeast of #Netherlands at a community called #ecotribe. They are #offgrid, #grow their own veggies, recycle their #greywater and use #rainwater for dishes and showers. It's on an old military installation.
