Should you reuse greywater?

Using greywater may be the only solution for keeping gardens alive during periods of hot, dry weather. Greywater replaces the need to use mains water for watering gardens or lawns and can potentially save thousands of litres of drinking water a year.

Benefits of using greywater:

decreases your water bills

reduces the amount of sewage discharged to the oceans or rivers

irrigates your garden during drought periods

can be used to keep gardens alive when water restrictions prevent the use of mains water
