More Coloradans would be allowed to use graywater systems under bill in state legislature
A bill that would allow graywater systems to be included in new homes throughout Colorado received rare unanimous approval from the Colorado House on Friday. Graywater is made up of water that has been used a single time from appliances like laundry machines, baths or sinks and can be used again for non-drinking purposes like toilet flushes and irrigation. Conservationists point to graywater uses as a way to cut down on water consumption as the drought in the West has deepened in recent years.
