Grey Water can be attached to a number of different types of recycled water. In my field of work which uses a lot of water, grey water is what is leftover after washing down the milk house, parlor and milking equipment. So what was once Potable water is now soiled with soap residue and manure contamination. It is then held in a storage tank to be later used to wash down holding areas and alley ways to rinse the area free of manure. It is truly grey water in context of color but adequate enough to wash down areas that do not require fresh water.<br />K DoggEmma and Kevin Kourihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744112889288044003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30938057.post-48076237237952923532009-07-01T20:35:59.783-05:002009-07-01T20:35:59.783-05:00Please post what you find out from UVM.
