naboo Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 What are the legalities of greywater disposal from a household property? Currently we have a kitchen sink and washing machine that have waste water channeled to the street drainage system in front of our house. I am not sure how legal this is. The drainage channels around our land also flow into the street drains. Our bathroom waste all goes into the septic tank. I am planning on building another shower. It would be very convenient to drop a drain pipe from the shower to the street drain. Is this legal or does greywater need to flow into a septic tank?

lovelomsak Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Probably all your neighbours are doing the same I would not worry. Our grey water goes out to where are banana trees are to water them. Right now have 4 trees with a lots of bananas,they like water. If you have banana trees on your land water them with the grey water they will love you fo it. Edited December 20, 2015 by lovelomsak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naboo Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Thanks lovelomsak. I live at the end of a soi. I guess I'll ask the neighbours if they would be upset by the smell of shower soap in the street drains in the morning. I'll make it out that I believe it will help clean them out. But it would be good if someone knew the law. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaClub Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 "What are the legalities of greywater disposal from a household property?" Is this a joke? What country are you in??? In Thailand, a lot of people dump raw sewage. You're worried about gray water? 555. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noise Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I will say, yes, it is legal to drain grey water into the sewers. My 1,000+ unit housing development does that. The developer's other sub-divisions around town are all constructed the same way, sinks/showers to the sewer and toilets to the septic tank.

Sutty Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) I drain all grey water into street verge septic tank loos only. I bug a channel of sorta so water stays on grass verge and not run into road no problems at all. I would advise not to run any grey water into septic tank.
