AI Summary
This bill establishes plumbing code regulations that provide building owners with guidelines for reusing greywater (wastewater from sinks, showers, and washing machines, excluding toilet water) for toilet flushing and subsurface irrigation. It creates two tiers of greywater systems - Tier 1 for private residential use up to 400 gallons per day, and Tier 2 for commercial, multifamily, and institutional systems over 400 but under 3,000 gallons per day. The bill mandates greywater recycling in new multifamily construction projects and allows builders of single-family homes to install greywater plumbing and systems. It also outlines requirements for greywater storage, distribution, and use, as well as enforcement and permitting procedures.
