Full Description

California Department of Water Resources (DWR) assisted and cooperated with the City of Santa Barbara and East Bay Municipal Utility District in conducting a two-year study of graywater use for three single family residences from November 1996 to November 1998. DWR's purpose in sponsoring the study was to collect data at single-family sites to determine the benefits, costs, and impacts of graywater use. Data on graywater use, soil quality and water quality were anlyzed in the three case studies. Potential water savings and the impact of graywater on plants and soil was documented. The two local agencies were interested in determining how practical it is to install graywater systems, including capital cost, customer acceptance, and necessary permits, and how graywater would affect soils and landscape quality.
