| 1 | | HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION
|
| 2 | | WHEREAS, Greywater is gently used water from one's |
| 3 | | bathroom, sinks, showers, tubs, and washing machines; it may |
| 4 | | contain traces of dirt, food, grease, hair, and certain |
| 5 | | household cleaning products; it is not water that has come into |
| 6 | | contact with feces; it may look "dirty", but it is a safe, even |
| 7 | | beneficial source of irrigation water; and
|
| 8 | | WHEREAS, If greywater is released into rivers, lakes, or |
| 9 | | estuaries, it becomes a pollutant, but to plants, it is a |
| 10 | | valuable fertilizer; and
|
| 11 | | WHEREAS, Reusing greywater saves water and money on one's |
| 12 | | water bill; and
|
| 13 | | WHEREAS, Reusing greywater keeps it out of the sewer or |
| 14 | | septic system, thereby reducing the chance that it will pollute |
| 15 | | local bodies of water; and
|
| 16 | | WHEREAS, Reusing greywater is a way to increase the |
| 17 | | productivity of sustainable backyard ecosystems that produce |
| 18 | | food, clean water, and shelter wildlife; therefore, be it
|
| 19 | | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE |
