Adding to the individuals ablity to contribute to the greater good, a couple in L.A. have passed thru the city and built a grey water system for their home, the first in the city. This again made the local government to update their codes to the times and peoples wish to be environmentally conscious.
The water from the laundry machine, shower, bath tub and bath room sinks flow into the grey water system. Which feeds a grove of fruit trees, the system is all powered by gravity. As a safety measure there is a three way valve that can change the flow of water to the sewer if beach is ever used. Because of this system there annual sewer fee is reduced by 60%.
They have also installed a rain water cistern, capturing 1,500gallons of water.
