Greywater Systems Discussion

Arizona was the first state to allow residential greywater systems to be installed without a permit. Val Little led a study on greywater in the Tucson area and her findings pushed the state to reevaluate the existing code. Val is the Director of the Water Conservation Alliance of Southern Arizona (Water CASA) and a Principal Research Specialist with the University of Arizona's College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, and was one of the three writers of the code.
