Greywater becoming legal in Montana!
House Bill 259 directs the board of Environmental Review to create rules and regulations regulating residential greywater systems.
Good:
"Gray water" means wastewater that is collected separately from a sewage flow and that does not contain industrial chemicals, hazardous wastes, or wastewater from toilets.
Kitchen sinks appear to be allowed.
Bad:
(1) Gray water may not be used to irrigate plants to be consumed by humans.
Irrigation of fruit trees should be allowed.
