Graywater is expected to carry human pathogens with various risk levels and pathways that have the potential to be dangerous to public health. Therefore, the purpose of this regulation, as authorized by section 25-8-205(1)(g), is to describe requirements, prohibitions, and standards for the use of graywater for nondrinking water purposes, to encourage the use of graywater, and to protect public health and water quality.
This regulation establishes the allowed users and allowed uses of graywater within the state of Colorado; establishes the minimum state-wide standards for the location, design, construction, operation, installation, modification of graywater treatment works; and establishes the minimum ordinance or resolution requirements for a city, city and county, or county that chooses to authorize graywater use within its jurisdiction.
