Legal Graywater in Oregon: Almost There!

Great news! Today, the Oregon House of Representatives voted 45-10 in favor of House Bill 2080 which would legalize the exterior use of household greywater.  You can read the full text of the bill, and stay updated as the bill makes its way through the Oregon Senate, by checking out ReCode Oregon.

For those of you not already familiar with what graywater, I’d encourage you to first check out wikipedia’s entry, and then see the video below in which our friend Trathen Heckman explains the graywater system installed at his home in California (where it is already legal).
