Bill Summary
CONCERNING MEASURES TO PROMOTE THE USE OF GRAYWATER.
AI Summary
This bill aims to incentivize the use of graywater, which is wastewater from sinks, showers, and washing machines, by establishing a statewide authorization for its use. The key provisions are:
1. Allowing individuals to install graywater treatment works and use graywater in accordance with state regulations, unless a county or municipality prohibits it by adopting a resolution or ordinance.
2. Requiring counties and municipalities to notify the state if they prohibit the installation of graywater treatment works or certain categories of graywater use, while allowing them to subsequently authorize such use.
3. Encouraging counties and municipalities that have not prohibited graywater use to enter into memorandums of understanding with local health and water/wastewater providers regarding graywater usage and installation.
4. Clarifying that the use of graywater must comply with applicable water rights, contracts, and permits.
5. Repealing an exemption that allowed graywater research in areas without local authorization.
