CALIFORNIA’S WATER: A VANISHING RESOURCE

New watering source is surfacing

‘Gray’ users go with flow from bathtubs, washers

Across the county, people are taking shorter showers, fixing leaky faucets and planting drought-tolerant vegetation.

But it hasn’t been enough. Water officials still plan to start rationing by summer.

Faced with having lawns wither and shrubs shrivel, more people are tapping their washing machines, bathtubs and other sources of “gray water” to irrigate landscaping.

Dadla Ponizil of Encinitas is one resident trying to squeeze the most out of every drop. In late February, he hosted a workshop where 15 people watched the Oakland-based group Greywater Guerrillas renovate his home so the washing machine drains to the blackberry patch in his front yard.

“Pretty soon, it will be the exception not to do this,” said Ponizil, a contractor and building consultant. “We can’t keep using water once and dumping it.”

Anecdotal evidence suggests that interest in gray water is growing in California. With direction from the Legislature, state regulators are looking at whether to loosen permit requirements for installing such systems.
