ARTMENT Planning
EXPLANATION
This hearing was continued from the meeting of January 25 to allow consideration of an interpretation
regarding whether the facility proposed by South Bay Community Services requires the proposed Code
Amendment. The interpretation is addressed in a separate Council agenda statement.
The Council may interpret that the proposed South Bay Community Services facility is a non -institutional use
as part of a separate action. If so, the Code may be further amended to clarify that similar proposals would be
considered institutional, but permitted by Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in Multi -Family Residential Zones.
Changes to the proposed amendment are recommended in the attached alternative amendment. The proposed
changes clarify that transitional housing for the homeless may or may not involve on -site services. However,
the proposal would still allow the use in Multi -Family Zones with a CUP. Also, a change to the definition of
philanthropic institutions is recommended. This would emphasize that housing for special groups provided by
such institutions would still be considered an institutional use, regardless of whether or not on -site services are
provided.

A-200 (9/80)
BACKGROUND REPORT
The applicant has requested a Code amendment to allow transitional housing for the homeless in multi -family
residential zones. The proposed amendment would enable philanthropic or nonprofit charitable organizations
to house homeless families and provide supportive services in apartment buildings in those zones. Under
current Code this use would be classified as an institutional use not permitted in residential zones. The
proposed amendment would apply to all property zoned for multi -family residential use in the City.
Currently, the use is allowed by right in institutional zones and with a conditional use permit in commercial
zones.
South Bay Community Services is interested in using an existing apartment complex at 1125-1137 B Avenue
for transitional housing. Tenants would pay rent, but would receive extra resources and assistance and have a
time limit on residency. Standard rental agreements would not be used. The attached letter describes the
benefits the project would receive from being located in a residential area. The applicants spoke in favor of
the project at the Planning Commission hearing and requested a swift decision since they are in escrow for the
site. A continuance was not acceptable to the applicant.
The Housing Element of the General Plan identifies a goal of providing adequate housing for households with
special needs. Although the proposed Code amendment is more specific than any policies of the General
Plan, it would further this goal. Requiring a conditional use permit would meet the General Plan goal of
citizen participation. A CUP requirement would also allow the public, the Planning Commission, and the City
Council to review transitional housing proposals on a case -by -case basis.
At the public hearing, Commissioners discussed the abundance of low-income housing, and expressed
concern that the proposed amendment would expand opportunities for low-income housing rather than
meeting the need for additional moderate- to middle -income housing. The Commission voted to recommend
denial of the proposed amendment based on General Policies that encourage a mix of housing for all income
types, since the amendment would encourage low-income housing and potentially discourage future middle -
income housing.
Those Commissioners who voted against denial of the amendment wanted additional time and information to
evaluate the request. The Commissioners had indicated an interest in visiting an existing property in Chula
Vista owned by South Bay Community Services and in seeing crime reports from the area. Commissioners
also wanted to have more information to compare transitional housing with homes for battered women, a
permitted use in single-family homes.
RECOMMENDED FINDING FOR DENIAL
1. That the proposed Code amendment is not consistent with the General Plan, since the
General Plan identifies the need to provide a wide range of housing opportunities, and since
there are a disproportionate number of low -income -residents in National City. The Code
amendment would not further the General Plan goal of encouraging production of housing
affordable to the moderate and middle income ranges.
RECOMMENDED FINDING FOR APPROVAL
1. That the Code amendment is consistent with the General Plan, since the Housing Element of
the General Plan contains goals to provide adequate housing for households with special
needs. The Conditional Use Permit requirement will carry out General Plan policies that
call for protection of established neighborhoods, where transitional housing proposals could
be expected.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT
1. Add the following definition:
18.04.685 Definition
"Transitional Housing" means multiple -family residential housing operated by
philanthropic institutions with on -site management and supportive services offered to its
recently homeless residents.
2. Add transitional housing to Use Group 11 (CUP required)

RE: South Bay Community Services/Code Amendment Application
Dear Planning Commissioners:
South Bay Community Services ("SBCS") hereby requests an amendment to the Land
Use Code to permit transitional housing in the RM-1-PD zone without the need for a
conditional use permit. This application is made in connection with SBCS's proposed
project at 1125-1137 B Avenue, a nine -unit residential building.
"Transitional housing" is temporary housing with supportive services, limited occupancy
of up to two years, and designed for the recently homeless with the ultimate goal of
moving them to permanent housing as quickly as possible (Cal. Code Regs., Title 25,
Section 7950). It is important to note that transitional housing is operated similarly to
conventional rental properties. Transitional housing is not a. group living situation nor is
it institutional in nature. Each family has their own apartment and pays rent. With
respect to the proposed project, there will be a resident manager living on site.
Transitional housing is appropriate in the RM-1-PD zone because in order for homeless
families to transition into permanent living and self-sufficiency, they need normalcy and
an environment that promotes growth and encouragement to accomplish their goals, such
as can only be found in residential neighborhoods. Access to libraries, community
centers, public transportation, freeway access, shopping, schools and job opportunities is
critical for such families and their children. The only difference is that these families
would receive extra resources and assistance and would have a time limit to live in the
apartment. The people in this transitional housing development would meet all the
criteria for living in a residential zone.
In order to allow transitional housing in the RM-1-PD zone we would propose that the
current Code definition of "Philanthropic Institution" be amended to add "transitional
housing" to the list of exclusions from the definition. Such an amendment would
eliminate the obstacles inherent in the conditional use permit application process and

Description of Nature. Purpose and Beneficiaries of Project:
Amendment to Title 18 of the National City Municipal Code (zoning) to allow the operation of
transitional housing by philanthropic institutions in the multiple -family residential zones.
Applicant: Chris Moxon, South Bay Community Svcs. Telephone Number: (619) 420-3620

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
OPPOSING SB 329 (PEACE)
WHEREAS, California Senator Steve Peace has amended Senate Bill 329 to
establish the San Diego Regional Infrastructure and Transportation Agency in the San Diego
region which would carry out the responsibilities of the San Diego County Air Pollution
Control District, the San Diego Association of Governments, the San Diego Metropolitan
Transit Development Board, the North San Diego County Transit Development Board, and the
San Diego Unified Port District; and
WHEREAS, the bill would create a newly elected regional governing body from
separate "wards" throughout the region to govern the consolidated agencies that are currently
governed by local elected city and county officials or, in the case of the Port District, their
appointees; and
WHEREAS, the City of National City believes that the bill violates the principal
of local control by eliminating cities and the County from transportation and land use decisions
which are within the purview of the agencies to be consolidated; and
WHEREAS, there has been no information or justification offered providing
adequate rationale for such a radical shift in regional leadership and decision -making; and
WHEREAS, structural change in regional and subregional government which
adds a new "layer" of government should be analyzed and reviewed by the cities and county
within the San Diego region and the public, and possibly be considered by the voters, in order
to gain consensus before its enactment; and
WHEREAS, there is no urgency requiring implementation of SB 329 in the near
term, if at all; and
WHEREAS, local governments were not consulted or informed in the
preparation of the legislation and can only react to its current content; and
WHEREAS, without local government support, and full examination of the
costs and need for consolidation, there is no justification for an addition of a separate layer of
government which has no additional incentives or authority for carrying out existing
responsibilities beyond those that currently are in place; and
WHEREAS, SB 329 fails to address the relationship between regional and local
plans, and therefore does not truly affect implementation of regional plans and programs; and
Resolution No. 2000-8
February 1, 2000
Page Two
WHEREAS, SANDAG proposes to examine the relationship between regional
and local plans to determine if there is a lack of coordination and/or if a better approach is
justified; and
WHEREAS, Senator Peace also has heard from the public in a series of forums
conducted for such purpose, and many additional significant questions and concerns have been
raised at these forums which have yet to be addressed; and
WHEREAS, the highest priority for legislative action this year should instead
focus on state -local fiscal reform and passage of a half -cent transportation sales tax extension.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
National City finds the bill premature and unacceptable in its current form and therefore must
oppose it; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Senator Peace is hereby requested to
withhold SB 329 from further legislative consideration until a consensus among city, county
and state officials, civic and community leaders and the public, on the need for modification or
consolidation of government agency authorities and responsibilities in the San Diego region is
arrived at.

FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDIC PROGRAM
Tom G. McCabe DEPARTMENT
City Manager
EXPLANATION
Upon approval of the Fire Department's Fiscal Year 1999-2000 Budget, Fire Department staff has
been working on the development of a proposed Firefighter Paramedic Program. Tentative
agreements have been reached to include Ambulance Services, EMT-P Quality Improvement
Program and Paramedic Coordinator Services, and EMT -Paramedic First Responder Services. The
only remaining agreement that has not been accomplished is with the Firefighters' Association
(FFA).
The FFA has requested that the current MOU be reopened for the sole purpose of incorporating a
new Article, "Paramedic Assessment Company Compensation" to reflect changes in working
conditions. The "Terms of Provisions," Article 28 in the current MOU provides that the City and the
FFA may mutually agree in writing to meet and confer on any subject within the scope of
representation.
L. The Program can also be implemented by the use of a "Side Letter" which has been employed under
the current MOU.

SUMMARY NARRATIVE:
"FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDIC FIRST RESPONDER PROGRAM"
Fire Department staff and representatives from the National City Firefighters' Association have jointly studied
various emergency medical service delivery systems for the past three years. As a result of this process it is
recommended that the City's "Emergency Medical Pre -Hospital Care Program", currently delivered by the Fire
Department and American Medical Response (AMR), be enhanced by upgrading the level of "First Responder
Services" from Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) level to Paramedic (EMT-P) level. Reimbursements from
AMR will provide funding for all costs associated with the implementation and ongoing operation of the enhanced
"First Responder Paramedic Service". No additional staff will be required and the ambulance transportation
system will continue to be a non -subsidized service to the City. This service enhancement will be implemented
on an incremental basis beginning in Fiscal Year 2001 and completed in Fiscal Year 2003. In addition, this
proposed enhancement will provide pre -hospital care comparable to the standard currently being provided in 70%
of the cities in San Diego County.

BENEFIT ANALYSIS: -
Paramedic response time reduced by 30%.
- All emergency medical calls will receive a paramedic.
An additional paramedic wilt be dispatched to emergency medical calls.
Survival rate for heart attack victims will be improved.
- Service level will be comparable to other cities in the County.

Dear; Mayor and City Council
This letter comes to you to request the reopening of the current M.O.U..
This reopening request is for the express purpose of adding Article 31 Paramedic
Assessment Company Compensation. This request is made under the Terms of
Provisions of Article 28 of the current M.O.U..
As stated above the reopening will be to address the new Article 3lonly.
Over the past several months Chief Kimble and Representatives of the National City
Fire Fighters Association, Local # 2744 have met and worked out Article 31 to the
mutual benefit of everyone involved.
Once Article 31 is in place the City and National City Fire Fighters Association
will establish the new Paramedic Assessment Company Program. The net result to the
citizens of National City is that by the end of the implemation period there will be a
paramedic on every fire engine and truck.

STAFF REPORT
AN ORDINANCE OF '1'Hl: CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NATIONAL CITY AMENDING 'I ITLE 8 OF THI: NATIONAL
CITY MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO ANIMAL CONTROL
This report summarizes the principal points of proposed revision to title 8 of the National
City Municipal Code regarding animal control and regulation. The proposed ordinance
revises Title 8 in its entirety. It maintains existing policy on animal control with some
additional procedural safeguards or simplified administrative concepts. It adds specific
species and numerical restrictions and prohibitions regarding the keeping of animals
within the city limits.
BACKGROUND:
Numerous administrative difficulties experienced by the Police and Animal Control and
the lack of adequate regulations and definitions suggested the animal control regulations
be revised. Some of the difficulties arose because the current code does not restrict the
keeping of exotic or potentially dangerous animals, reptiles or birds, the keeping of
roosters or the number or species of permissible animals. Noise abatement procedures
for barking dogs and noisy animals were not provided.
This proposed ordinance updates procedures to eliminate unnecessary duplication or
inconsistencies with State law or other regulations, and revises practice to allow more
flexibility and simplification in administration. This ordinance has been extensively
coordinated with the Police and Animal Control.
Historically, the animal control regulations of Title 8 were adopted in 1950. Only two
minor amendments have been made in the past fifty years; one dealing with licenses, and
the second dealing with the keeping of mice and rats. In the 1950's, many areas of the
city were still rural, and animals other than horses and cows, such as pigs and roosters,
were kept. However, the code did not prohibit any particular species of animals from
being kept in the city, including pigs and roosters. In terms of practice, the animal
control officers have been relatively successful in maintaining some degree of control
over various exotic, dangerous or barnyard species.
The proposed revisions include allowances for the keeping of certain animals --either
restricted as to their number or species, or combinations. The City Council may elect to
modify, eliminate or further restrict those species as proposed. The ordinance offered for
the Council's consideration, however, proposes a mix of species and combinations that
are reasonably appropriate even within an urban/suburban environment.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES
Chapter 8.04 (Animal control and impoundment —generally).
The revisions preserve the original concepts and policies of the current code, but clarify
language and add definitions for Title 8 that are necessary for enforcement. Violations
are infractions, except when designated as misdemeanors
Chapter 8.08 (Large animals and large birds —at large or grazing).
Large animals (horse, cow, etc.) are currently allowed in the City on large lots (20,000
square feet or more). Current code does not restrain or regulate large birds. The
revisions include provisions to add large birds (emus, ostriches, etc.) to grazing
restrictions on large animals. The prohibitions include being at large in the city or being
allowed to graze on any parcel of land of less than 20,000 square feet area.
OPTION: The City Council may direct revisions to prohibit the keeping or grazing of
large birds.
Chapter 8.12 (Dog licenses).
Revisions tighten up any prior loopholes that could allow a dog over the age of 4 months
to be unregistered. It clarifies the placement and display, of tags on dogs. It exempts
assistance dogs (dogs trained or in training and used for the disabled) from license fees.
Reciprocal licensing is extended to a dog licensed in another jurisdiction that is moved
into the city for the unexpired portion of the prior license during the first thirty (30) days,
to encourage prompt regulation. (Revenue impact is negligible). Authority would be
granted to the Finance Director to contract with city veterinarians to also issue licenses
and collect fees.
Chapter 8.16 (Dog regulations).
Revisions include new provisions for trespassing by dogs upon another's property, and
add language to require handlers to clean up after the dog. Clarifies definitions.
New procedures are established for barking dog noise abatement —the most frequent
problem confronting animal control. Usually, by the time officers respond, the dog has
stopped barking and no action can be taken. This leads to repeated calls for assistance
without any resolution of the underlying problem. The new provisions will allow animal
control officers to instruct the complainant to maintain a log and file a written statement
of complaint; this will also eliminate crank calls and neighbor harassment. It also
requires the complainant to have first civilly addressed the dog owner, unless that would
be a considerable threat to the physical well being of the complainant (e.g., elderly
persons, etc.), before official involvement.

New procedures are proposed for an administrative abatement process that involves
forbearance of future criminal or administrative citations provided the dog owner
complies with certain conditions —such as keeping the dog inside and the use of an anti -
barking collar. Other procedures will allow for remediation in more severe cases.
The vicious and dangerous dog provisions of the Food and Agricultural Code are
supplemented by addition of a misdemeanor violation for the keeping of an adjudicated
dangerous or vicious dog within the city limits and for abatement and the euthanization of
a dog determined to be dangerous or vicious, within the meaning of the Food and
Agricultural Code. Finally, the revisions add specific guidelines for the height of fencing
to contain dogs in yards (3 feet or the height of the dog plus 12", whichever is greater).
Chapter 8.20 (Rabies control).
This chapter is recommended for repeal as duplication of existing state and county health
and rabies control regulations.
Chapter 8.24 (Kennels).
This chapter is re -written to require kennels to be subject to a conditional use permit and
tightens regulations on inspections and revocation of permits.
Chapter 8.32 (Keeping of birds and animals).
This chapter is extensively revised to add prohibitions on the keeping of certain exotic,
dangerous or venomous animals or reptiles and to regulate or restrict other animals. This
is particularly necessary regarding the keeping of roosters, another source of noise
complaints. De -crowed roosters are allowed; otherwise, prohibited.
The prohibitions on keeping include generally:
Venomous and large reptiles, snakes and lizards; skunks; large non -domesticated cats;
primates; pigs exceeding 100 pounds or 24" in height; roosters not de -crowed; wolves,
foxes and hybrids; all other large animals, except for horses, cows, sheep, goats, burros,
jackasses, mules, llamas or alpacas. (Exceptions are made for traveling circuses with a
temporary use permit).
All animals and birds not prohibited are then restricted by number and species in Section
8.32.015. These combinations were arrived at based on historical or anecdotal
information and observation. Additional restrictions are based upon lot size (20,000
square feet for permitted large animals) and multi -family residential occupancies.
Current regulations regarding sanitation and handling are maintained and, where
necessary, clarified or reinforced
Page 3 of 4

Animal Control
Provisions are made to allow exemptions to the limits or permitted species upon issuance
of a permit by the City Council, provided the exemptions are compatible with public
health and safety and are for religious, educational, conservation or preservation
purposes.
Transition provisions are made for "grandfathering" existing animals and birds, with a
general sixty (60) day grace period for the surrender of prohibited animals, and two years
for all others which exceed the number or species combinations.
OPTION: The City Council may direct staff to eliminate or modify allowable species.
Chapter 8.36 (Transportation of animals).
This section is revised to supplement existing state law and provide animal control with
additional procedures and evidentiary tools for handling animals in unattended vehicles.
It also directs the impoundment of improperly transported animals until safe passage can
be supplied.
Options of the City Council:
1. Introduce and adopt the proposed ordinance as drafted; or
2. Direct staff to prepare revisions to the proposed ordinance for further consideration
by the City Council; or
3. Decline to introduce the proposed ordinance.

anonymous complaint or upon any other barking dog complaint unless the complainant first
certifies under a written declaration executed under penalty of perjury that satisfies the scope
of Section 8.16.050D. The Police Chief may require the complainant to first make such
written declaration before investigating.
C. Unless the animal control officer or a police officer actually observes the dog

notification should the complainant decline to effect a citizen arrest but has made a written
declaration.

written request to the owner or the person responsible for the custody and possession of the

trespasser; and (b) was not being provoked by any person other than the owner of the property
upon which the dog was situated or the person responsible for the dog. A person who is
merely a lawful passerby on a public street or sidewalk shall not be considered a source of
provocation.

a person of normal and reasonable sensitivity, or was disturbing to the residents of at least two
or more adjoining properties.
5. The identity, of other witnesses or complainants.
E. At the time of a first complaint, the complainant shall be instructed to maintain a
log to establish the following:
1. Date and time of barking episodes.
2. Duration of barking.
3. Address of violation.
4. Any factors, or the non-existence of factors, which may have contributed

at the premises at the time the dog was barking if the dog was left outdoors.
G. A first violation of this section shall be an infraction, and any second and
subsequent violations shall be misdemeanors.

or a police officer.
2. The complainant must execute a written declaration under penalty of
perjury establishing facts that bring the dog within the scope of Section 8.16.050 and request

than ten (10) days from the date of mailing. The hearing shall be informal and the rules of
evidence shall not apply.

city limits after it has been adjudicated a dangerous or vicious dog pursuant to proceedings
conducted under Food and Agricultural Code Sections 31621 through 31626, or this section.

adjudicated to be vicious to thereafter own, possess or maintain any other dog upon property
which he or she owns, leases or controls within the city limits for a period of three years from
the date of final adjudication. Any dog found in violation of this condition shall be impounded
and processed in accordance with Chapter 8.04.
D. Pursuant to the authority of Food and Agricultural Code Section 31621, as an
alternative abatement proceeding for a potentially dangerous or vicious dog, the animal control
officer may post a notice on the property from which the dog was impounded advising the
owner, or its handler when the owner cannot be ascertained, that the dog will be declared a
vicious dog and be euthanized five (5) business days after its impound or as soon thereafter as
is practicable, unless the owner or handler, during the interim, requests an administrative
hearing to contest the determination. A duplicate copy of the notice shall be mailed to the
owner, or the handler if the owner cannot be ascertained, by certified mail and first class mail

or not the dog should be euthanized or some alternative method for its care and custody be
provided. The notice of decision shall be served personally on the owner, or by mail, certified
and first-class with return address; receipt of either shall constitute service of notice. Failure
to receive the notice shall not affect the validity of service or the proceedings. Failure to
request the hearing within the time allowed shall constitute a waiver of the right to contest the
determination or the euthanization of the dog. The owner or handler shall be liable for all
costs and fees pursuant to Section 8.04.030.

processed as conditional use permits through the Planning Commission. Applications shall be
denied if impermissible with the zoning of the property, or, if the operation and maintenance of

The City Council placed this item on the agenda after holding a public hearing on a requested Land Use
Code amendment last week. Information on the Code Amendment is contained within a separate agenda

Background Report
When South Bay Community Services (SBSC) originally submitted its application for a
facility for transitional housing for the homeless at 1125-1137 B Avenue, it was
determined by City staff that the project came under the definition of a "philanthropic
institution," defined in Section 18.04.058 of the Municipal Code as follows:
"Philanthropic institution" means a nonprofit, charitable institution devoted to
the housing, training or care of children, or of aged, indigent, handicapped or
underprivileged person .... "
Because, according to the above definition, the proposed use was institutional in nature, it
was not permitted at 1125-1137 B Avenue, which is residentially zoned. In order to
proceed with the project at this location, SBCS initiated an amendment to Title 18 of the
Municipal Code to add Section 18.04.685 which would allow transitional housing for the
homeless in multiple -family residential zones with a conditional use permit.
During the processing of the code amendment, SBCS expressed the view that its
proposed facility on B Avenue did not include on -site management and supportive
services, and therefore did not come within the restrictions of Section 18.04.058. At the
January 25, 2000 City Council meeting the City Council determined, based on the
additional information provided by SBCS, that it was in agreement with SBCS's
interpretation.
South Bay Community Services proposes to utilize a nine -unit transitional housing
project at 1125-1137 B Avenue for transitional housing for the homeless, as described in
the attached development description. The Building & Safety Director is currently
evaluating the permit history of the site to determine the number of permitted units on the
property. Based on the intensity of the proposed rehabilitation of the units, a planned
development permit will likely be required for the project.

relocating them to permanent affordable housing.
The development's location is ideal for these families. They will have
access to area services and resources such as libraries, community centers,
public transportation, freeway access, shopping, schools, and several job
opportunities, which is vital to their success.
SBCS will offer several services to Casa Nueva Vida residents; several of
which will serve as a condition of tenancy. Families will be able to access
counseling treatment, the Juvenile Diversion Program, Teen Literacy
Program, a Critical Hour Program, access to apartment databases, security
deposit programs, as well as entrepreneurial programs for youth and adults.
Casa Nueva Vida will provide area families with the opportunity to access
safe, positive and productive housing.

RE: ACQUISITION AND REHABILITATION PROJECT AT 1 125-1137 "6"
AVENUE MANAGED TRANSITIONAL HOUSING
This memo represents my recommendation to the City Count:II for approval of the proposed
code addition 18.04 defining "Transitional Housing". South gay Community Services
(SBCS) Is an approved Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) and has
demonstrated the ability to provide quality services in a cost•effective manner. This office
has approved a "Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan" form regarding this
project.
The proposed project is presently a social and physical blight to the immediate and surround-
ing neighborhood. It is extremely unlikely that normal marks: forces would find it feasible to
undertake this type of project. SBCS, in its unique positiol: as a quality affordable housing
provider, can assemble the financial package necessary to undertake the acquisition, rehabili-
tation, and management services required.
Because of the funding request being made by SBCS, a detaiiod Disposition and Development
Agreement (DDA) will be provided for CDC approval. The DDA will include management
objectives and individual occupancy agreement forms, as well as financial and construction
time fines.
From a community development perspective, this project in the best interest of the sur-
rounding area and this community. Approval Is recommend':d.

The Community Development Commission of the City of National City (CDC) is pleased to
have a long history of working with South Bay Community Services (SBCS). The CDC is
interested in collaborating with SBCS to provide eight units of transitional housing for
homeless families. The CDC would seriously consider providing funds for the project,
since it is consistent with the City's Consolidated Plan.
Throughout our partnership, SBCS has demonstrated fiscal responsibility in the handling
of various grants by keeping appropriate records of program activity and reporting
expenditures in required form at requested intervals. SBCS has managed the funds
appropriately and demonstrated the ability to provide quality services in a cost-effective
manner. The CDC is supportive of continuing our strong partnership through this new
project. We look forward to working with SBCS to provide safe shelter for homeless
families and assistance to gain independent living. This project will give homeless families
in National City an opportunity that is not currently available.

SUBJECT: ANALYSIS OF RECYCLE WATER ALTERNATIVES REQUEST
EXPLANATION
At our City Council meeting of November 16, 1999, Mr. Stephen Wn. Bilson of Re -Water System Inc.
requested that we write a letter to the City of San Diego and recommend that they investigate
greywater disposal alternatives and consequently build smaller wastewater treatment facilities. We
contacted the Metropolitan Wastewater Department, the Sweetwater Authority, the City of Chula Vista,
the California Regional Water Quality San Diego Region, the County of San Diego Environmental
Health Department, the National City Building Department and the National City Planning Department
and requested that they submit their comments and recommendations concerning this request. Their
comments are attached.
Staff spoke with Building Department's Acting Director, she indicated that the County of San Diego
Environmental Health Department is the responsible agency for plan reviews, permits issuance, and
for inspections. Staff then spoke with County of San Diego and was informed that they have issued
20 permits and have finalized 2 projects in the entire county since 1994.
Sweetwater Authority said that it could cost approximately $5,000 to retrofit plumbing in an existing
house and it could be a potential health threat if there are poor soil conditions. The California
Regional Water Quality Control Board responded to the question of building a smaller treatment plant
and stated that there has not been sufficient monitoring for greywater systems in San Diego County
for them to be able to draw conclusions about their long term performance and their effects on
wastewater flows. Furthermore, the Metropolitan Wastewater Department sent us a copy of a letter
from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stating that the City of San Diego cannot reduce
capacity of its sewerage system based on the installation of greywater systems within the region. The
reason given for this is that the sewerage must be sized to handle peak flows which occur during wet
weather, the time of year when households will not be using greywater systems to irrigate.
The City of Chula Vista has approved a Resolution that would reduce sewer capacity charges by 25%
when a property owner installs greywater systems. They are also applying for Federal and State loans
and grants for home owners that install approved greywater systems.
The City Manager of San Diego has recommended to the Land Use and Housing Committee that a
$260 rebate be offered to home owners that install greywater systems.
The National City Planning Department stated that on October 26, 1999 the Code was amended to
allow greywater discharge systems as long as they meet the requirements of Appendix G of the
California Building Code.
In conclusion, the installation of greywater systems should be allowed, provided that required permits
are received from the County of San Diego, but greywater systems should not be considered when
designing sewer collection and treatment systems.

Dear Mr. Myers,
Thank you for your letter of December 8, 1999. Attached is a letter from the Environmental Protection Agency
stating that the City of San Diego cannot reduce the capacity of its sewerage system based on the installation of
graywater systems within the region. The reason for this is that the sewerage system must be sized to handle
peak flows, which occur during wet weather, when households will not be using graywater systems to irrigate.
The San Diego City Council has discussed and considered the merits of graywater systems on several occasions
within the last year. Both the Natural Resources and Culture Committee and the Land Use and Housing
Committee reviewed the issue. On November 30, 1999 the City Council considered the issue again, and
approved the Manager's recommendation to participate in a pilot incentive program planned by the County
Water Authority. The Council also referred further discussion of graywater issues back to the Natural
Resources and Culture Committee.
Enclosed is a Manager's Report regarding the use of graywater that provides additional information that may be
of use to you. Should you have further questions regarding the City's participation in the County Water
Authority program, please contact Luis Generoso, Water Department, at 619-533-5258.

Dear Mr. Schlesinger:
On behalf of Alexis Strauss, I am responding to your letter of November 9, 1999 regarding the
implementation of a grey water irrigation system in the City of San Diego.
EPA believes that an appropriate grey water system could support the goals set forth in the
Ocean Pollution Reduction Act (OPRA), as long as all technical and environmental issues associated
with such a system are fully considered. A similar question was raised by Council Member Juan Vargas
in a letter to EPA dated September 29, 1999. I have enclosed a copy of Mr. Vargas' letter, as well as a
copy of EPA's response for your consideration.
You also inquired about the feasibility of "downsizing" future wastewater facilities if a grey water
system is employed by the City. Since homeowners typically do not use their grey water systems for
irrigation during wet weather, treatment facilities would require sufficient capacity to address these
additional flows. I agree with you that "prudent planning would dictate that the sewerage system be
sized without taking grey water systems into account."
Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. I can be reached at
(415) 744-1163.

SUMMARY
Issue: 1. Should the City provide water and/or sewer capacity fee discounts or
other available financial incentives to promote the installation of
graywater systems in new residential properties?
2. Should the City allow a downsizing of water and sewer connections as
a result of providing this capacity fee discount?
Manager's Recommendation: Participate in the San Diego County Water
Authority's Proposed Graywater Incentive Pilot Program that will provide
up to a $260 rebate for graywater system installations.
Fiscal Impact: The City of San Diego will provide in -kind services such as cross
connection inspections of residences participating in the San Diego
County Water Authority Graywater Incentive Pilot Program, in addition to
providing water usage data for San Diego residents utilizing graywater
systems.
BACKGROUND
San Diego imports 90% of its Water from sources as far away as Northern California
and the Colorado River. To reduce reliance upon imported water, the City of San
Diego has a diverse and extensive Water Conservation Program. By implementing Best
Management Practices considered by the CALFED Bay -Delta Program as proven water
efficiency measures, the City of San Diego has consistently conserved 10 to 20% of its
water usage at an average cost of $130 per acre foot of water saved.
The projected increase of one million new people over the next 20 years will create a
new demand for water and impact our sewer system. Alternative sources of water are
currently being evaluated to supplement existing water supply. From recycled water for
industry to water transfers, the City is studying all options for feasibility and cost
effectiveness.
One option that offers a new source of local water is graywater. Graywater is untreated
household wastewater which has not come into contact with toilet waste. Graywater
includes used water from bathtubs, showers, bathroom wash basins, and water from
clotheswashing machines and laundry tubs. It does not include wastewater from
kitchen sinks or dishwashers. (Appendix G, Graywater Systems, Title 24, Part 5,
California Administrative Code). Graywater is collected and used for irrigation using a
subsurface distribution system buried nine inches below the surface. State regulatory
requirements for graywater systems are detailed in Attachment A.
The Land Use and Housing Committee at their February 1999 meeting requested that
the City Manager return to the Committee with a report evaluating the costs and
benefits of graywater recycling.
DISCUSSION
Case Studies
Several studies have been conducted on the use and benefit of graywater systems.
These studies include actual field experiments where graywater systems were installed
and observed, while others offer analytical assessments. Listed below are some of the
studies referenced by City staff in completing this report:
EAST BAY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT (Concluded November 1998)
Two single-family homes with 1,200 square feet of landscaping suitable for
graywater were selected for this trial. There were four family members at each
home and an automated graywater system was retrofitted into the existing plumbing
system. A water meter was installed to measure graywater flows to the landscape .
Total Available Graywater Volume = 81.6 gallons per household per day
Graywater System Cost = $1,250 each
Irrigation System Cost = included
Installation Cost = averaged $4,150 at each site
Water savings over life of system = 0.09 AFY for 15 years, valued at $895
Cost perAF saved = $3,337/AF
Wastewater savings = not discussed
2
CITY OF SANTA BARBARA (1996 - 1998)
A basic gravity -fed graywater system was installed in a single-family home with one
bathroom. Landscape consisted of a vegetable garden, fruit trees, and low-water
using plants. The homeowners were organic gardeners who used only organic
products in their landscaping, and their soil is heavily mulched and in excellent
condition. The graywater system installed had no filter and no pump. The
homeowners installed the system themselves, and the house was plumbed for
graywater use. Graywater 'use during Spring and Summer months ranged from 8 to
12 HCF, while during November/December, it was 1 HCF total.
Total Available Graywater Volume = 42 gallons per household per day measured
during Spring and Summer months.
Graywater System Cost = $212
Irrigation System Cost = $569
Installation Cost = $350 for plumbing work, homeowners did most of installation
Water savings over life of system = 0.03 AFY for 20 years, valued at $893
Cost perAF saved = $397/AF
Wastewater savings = not discussed
SAN DIEGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY (March 1998)
The California Water Authority (CWA) completed a cost/benefit analysis on
graywater including only some of the costs of the system hardware, as some of the
costs were unknown at that time. CWA staff used the results of the American Water
Works Research Foundation's North American Residential End Use Study to
estimate the amount of graywater that would be produced by a family of three in
San Diego. The findings indicated that approximately 92.7 gallons per day would be
available for graywater use, to irrigate approximately 1,308 square feet of
landscaped area.
Total Available Graywater Volume = 92.7 gallons per household per day
Graywater System Cost = $3,751
Irrigation System Cost = included
Installation Cost = assumed this cost could be absorbed by construction costs
Water savings over life of system = 0.10 AFY for 10 years, valued at $683
Cost per AF saved = $3, 751/AF over a 10-year period *
Wastewater savings = $792 over 10 years
*Note: MWD utilizes a 10-year amortization of water conservation devices
CHULA VISTA - SUNBOW II DEVELOPMENT (March 1999 Draft)
The Sunbow II Development is completing a Water Conservation Plan as required
by the City of Chula Vista. Part of the Plan was an analysis of graywater systems.
The Plan identified potential graywater supply using estimates in Appendix G of the
State Plumbing Code, and Otay Water District's Water -Efficient Landscape Irrigation
Ordinance. Using a minimum assumption of four persons per household and a
3
projected irrigation demand of 35,900 gallons per year (GPY), the Platii'projected
that there will be enough graywater production to supply all irrigation needs
throughout the year, with a surplus of at least 22,500 GPY of graywater. The total
annual cost of maintenance is estimated at $67, and the expected life span of
graywater systems is 15 years. The City of Chula Vista offers a $555 discount on
sewer connection fees.
The study recommended that graywater systems not be included in the Plan
because they do not appear to be cost-effective without additional programs to
reimburse the homeowner for the water/wastewater savings benefits.
Total Available Graywater Volume = 160 gallons per household per day,
assuming 4 persons per household used in State Code Appendix G
Graywater System Cost = $4,950 ($4,395 after City of Chula Vista discount)
Irrigation System Cost = included
Installation Cost = $400
Water savings over life of system = 0.11 AFY for 15 years, valued at $1,200
Cost perAF saved = $3,350/AF
Wastewater savings = none mentioned
LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER (November 1992)
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) studied the
performance of various graywater systems for a year using eight sites. It reported
water savings from all sites averaging 46%. However, the report also concluded
that it is unlikely a large number of residents will install such systems, because of
the maintenance requirements, complications with permitting, and costs.
Total Available Graywater Volume = 46% of total household water
Graywater System Cost = range from $400 (basic system with do-it-yourself
installation) to $5,000 (fully automatic with a direct potable water connection)
Irrigation System Cost = included
Installation Cost = included
Water savings over life of system = not mentioned in study
Cost per AF saved = not mentioned in study
Wastewater savings = not mentioned in study
Summary of Existing Studies
It is interesting to note that each study had various assumptions, applications and
results. The cost benefit of a graywater system needs to be evaluated based on the
specific conditions of the region.

An Analysis of Graywater systems within the City of San Diego
Potential Water Savings
California graywater regulations estimate that there exists the potential to capture
40 gallons of graywater per person per day from a single family residence (Title 24 of
the California Administrative Code) . The potential graywater volume per household in
San Diego is lower than the State average. This was demonstrated when the City of
San Diego participated in the American Water Works Association Research Foundation
(AWWARF) North American Residential Water End Use Study conducted in 1996 and
1997. This study monitored the water uses of randomly selected single-family homes
and identified how water was used. The study listed 2.9 persons per household.
Based on the study, total indoor water use was measured at 132 gallons per
household, of which 92.7 gallons came potentially from acceptable graywater sources.
This lower volume reflects the water conserving habits that San Diegans have adopted
compared to the rest of California. Thikis lower than the State Code estimate of
120 gallons. The fact that the city enforces the use of water -conserving devices in new
construction supports this dynamic.
For a household of three persons, the potential graywater volume is 92.7 gallons per
day. However, the potential graywater volume does not necessarily equate to potable
water savings. Potable water savings is defined as the amount of graywater used to
meet landscape water needs previously irrigated by potable water. Although more
graywater can be applied to the landscape than what is needed, water saved includes
only the amount of potable water replaced by graywater.
The Sunbow II study identified an irrigation demand for a 1,200 sq. ft. landscape. It is
the average size of landscape planned for new homes (Sunbow landscape areas range
from 900 sq. ft. to 1,500 sq. ft.) Our analysis assumes the average area that would be
irrigated with graywater is also 1,200 sq. ft. This size accounts for what's available in
new homes and that irrigating 1,200 sq. ft. of landscape with graywater optimizes its
usage and minimizes the amount of potable water supplement.
Table 1 displays, on a monthly basis, the amount of graywater production that could be
expected from a typical single family residence, irrigation demand and potable water
savings. In addition the table displays the potable water required to supplement a
graywater system during the months when graywater production is not adequate to
meet irrigation demand and the amount of surplus graywater that would be returned to
the sewer in the months when irrigation demand is low.

Potable water savings using San Diego AWWARF data amounts to 28,483 GPY or.
0.09 AFY. There is not enough graywater production to meet irrigation needs during
the warmer months and therefore a potable water supplement of approximately 7,420
GPY or 0.02 AF is necessary. The total water bill savings the customer can realize
from using graywater is $61 per year (38 HCF x $1.60/HCF).
Sewer Savings
A majority of graywater produced can be considered sewer savings. if the homeowner
follows the irrigation demand schedule and waters only based on plant needs and
weather patterns (See Table 1), only excess graywater production will enter the sewer
system. Of the total graywater production, 28,483 gallons (or 38 HCF) per year are
beneficially used for irrigation and 5,355 gallons (or 7.2 HCF) per year are returned to
sewer. The current sewer billing system does not allow for reductions in monthly sewer
charges because the sewer usage is based on water usage for two (2) billing periods
during the winter months. But if it were possible, the customer would realize a
reduction in sewer billing of $103 per year (38 HCF x $2.71/HCF winter -based sewer
billing).
The sewer bill reductions when coupled with water savings amounts to $164 per year.
However, the City would need to implement the following changes for customers to
realize these savings:
1. Modify the current billing system to allow for variable sewer charges per
month for those customers utilizing graywater. More than likely this would be
a manual process as reprogramming can be very costly, especially when this
feature will benefit few customers at this time.
2. Require meters on all graywater systems in addition to the existing meter for
potable service. A graywater meter would be necessary to read actual
graywater usage in order to calculate a credit for reduced return to sewer.
3. Meter Readers would be required to enter private property to read the
graywater meter since this meter would be located adjacent to the graywater
system which is on the homeowners property.
Cost Benefit Analysis
Graywater System Costs
Based on the case studies presented earlier, graywater system costs fluctuate
depending on the components or features of each system. These systems can be
classified into three categories:
Basic - no pumps or filters, gravity flow (i.e. Santa Barbara site system)
Intermediate - has a tank, filter and pump, controller, and a direct potable
connection for filter backwash
Advanced - same as intermediate but with a direct connection for supplemental
potable water and a fully automated controller for both potable and
graywater (i.e. Sunbow II Plan)

Cost Effectiveness
Although the customer may be able to realize savings from their water and sewer bills,
the investment in a graywater system is high. A cost benefit analysis will show that a
customer installing a graywater system can expect annual savings of $164 from
reduced water and sewer. This can be realized only after the customer has invested
from $5,242 (Intermediate Level System) to $5,773 ( Advanced Level System) in a
graywater system and spent up to $162 in annual maintenance costs. Annual costs
offset most of the water and sewer savings derived from installing graywater systems.
A graywater system can save 0.09 AF per year. Assuming a 15-year lifetime, which is
based on professional assessments of the lifetime of submersible pumps and irrigation
drip systems, the system will save a total of 1.35 AF. The customer's cost to save that
amount of potable water is $4,254 per AF for an advanced level system and $3,861 per
AF if installing an intermediate level system. The current retail cost of potable water is
$697 per AF.
It has been argued that a graywater system cost analysis should not include the full
cost of an irrigation system because these costs are incurred whether the customer
opts for a graywater system or a more traditional sprinkler or drip system. Below is the
8
system cost table adjusted to reflect only the incremental costs of an irrigation system if
a customer was going to use a graywater irrigation system versus a traditional above
ground irrigation system.

water and sewer bills.
Proposed Reduction in Water and Sewer Capacity and Capacity Charges
In order to provide adequate water and sewer capacity to its residents, the City has to
build for peak flow capacity. This ensures that the customer will receive water
whenever needed, and the sewer system can accept sewer flows continually. This
requirement also protects the health and safety of San Diegans.
Although graywater systems can reduce water usage and sewer volume discharge,
there is no guarantee that customers will continue to use them. There may be enough
motivation and customer education for the first homeowner to maximize graywater
irrigation to recoup the initial investment. However, succeeding homeowners who may
not understand the system or have the motivation to maintain and certify the system
annually, and who did not specifically pay for the graywater system may choose to
9
revert to the more traditional irrigation systems. In this case the original water and
sewer demand capabilities would be required.
The proposed reduction in water and sewer capacity fees as a graywater incentive will
result in smaller water meter and sewer size connections. However, because graywater
systems on private property may be abandoned by the user, the peak flows remain
possible. Without assurances of a reduction in peak capacity, no reduction in capacity
or capacity fees is recommended.
Graywater Impact on Water and Sewer Systems Citywide
The potential water savings derived from the use of graywater systems is 0.09 AFY per
household. Using the Committee Consultant's projection of 20,000 new single-family
households in the next two decades, the total water savings potential of these new
homes equipped with graywater systems is.1,800 AFY when all 20,000 systems are in
service. This represents 0.85% of the current volume of water San Diegans use
(211,636 AFY). The impact graywater systems have on wastewater treatment is the
same (0.85%), given that the volume currently treated is 212,795 AFY. Because the
homeowner could revert back to the higher capacity water and sewer demand by not
utilizing their graywater system, a downsizing of the water/sewer infrastructure is not
appropriate.
We have not projected the water/sewer savings, for the 100,000 new multi -family
dwelling units that the Committee Consultant projected.
Non -Economic Considerations
Health and Safety
Concerns noted in many of the studies focused on health and safety. Safeguards must
be in place to secure potable systems from cross connections and prevent landscape
areas irrigated with graywater from turning into mini leech fields. As captured in the
Sunbow II Study:
Graywater contains bacteria and viruses that can cause illness. Therefore, before
graywater systems can be considered a viable residential irrigation supply, it is important
to ensure that graywater systems can be installed in a manner that is fully protective of
public health and will not pose a risk of contamination to the public water supplies
through cross -connections that translate to liability.
A backflow device would be required on the customers property at the City meter as
well as between the potable and graywater supply lines at the customers home. These
devices would protect the customers potable water supply as well as the city potable
supply.
10
Restrictions
The Sunbow II study notes the following restrictions in graywater use where lack of
percolation can pose health problems:
1. Where the soil is made up of dense clay;
2. Where the graywater irrigation site is along the top of a cut bank, which could
allow the graywater to weep out of the face of the cut bank;
3. Where the irrigation field has a slope greater than 25%; and
4. Where the area for irrigation is less that the area required based on the
calculated plumbing fixture flows into the graywater system and the soil
permeability.
Operation and Maintenance
Unlike water reclamation plants where treatment is strictly monitored and controlled,
graywater systems depend on the knowledge and desire of customers to maintain the
system. Control of the quality of graywater rests on the customer in terms of proper
usage and maintenance, and of materials disposed in sinks and bathtubs. While it can
be said that some detergents contain nitrogen or phosphorous that can be considered
plant nutrients, others may contain sodium and chloride which are harmful to some
plants. Customer education and ease of maintenance are key factors in operating safe
systems.
Texas Water Resources Institute (TWRI) has studied the use of graywater. According
to Ric Jensen, Editor of TWRI's newsletter, the hesitation they have in promoting
graywater use is the issue of controlling what goes into the graywater supply. Only
when we have properly educated homeowners who operate and maintain their
graywater systems with diligence can the quality of graywater be safeguarded.
Reduced Wastewater Flows
When ultra -low flush toilets (ulft's) were first introduced, many were skeptical about their
performance and ability to carry waste materials through drain lines. In a response to a
citizen inquiry forwarded to the Water Department, City staff noted that even if there is
less water used per flush, there is enough water from other indoor sources to help carry
the waste material to the sewer system. If all water from showers, bathtubs, and
laundry machines are diverted for graywater use (majority of all indoor use), the drastic
reduction in a household's wastewater flow may cause some plumbing problems
related to the use of ulft's. This concern was also noted in the LADWP Study.
Customer Acceptance
The studies we have cited have attempted to gauge customer acceptance of graywater
systems. EBMUD study participants noted that they would not purchase the graywater
systems without a substantial financial incentive to reduce the cost.
11
San Diego County Water Authority's Graywater Incentive Pilot Program.
The studies cited in this report concluded various results. CWA is proposing a
Graywater Incentive Pilot Program that will evaluate graywater recycling and collect
data relevant to San Diego. In this program, a $260 incentive will be. provided for the
installation of graywater systems. These systems will be monitored for actual usage for
the duration of the program, and will evaluate usage patterns, water savings and all
related costs. This data can be used by the California Urban Water Conservation
Council to assess graywater recycling and move it from a potential Best Management
Practice (BMP) into a regular BMP for Urban Water Conservation, if appropriate.
As currently proposed, CWA expects the role of the City to include inspecting system
plans and installations, performing the initial and annual cross -connection certification,
reading graywater meters, maintaining usage records, and assisting their consultant to
analyze program data.
CONCLUSION
Studies conducted in California reveal several factors that are key to considering
financial support for a graywater program. Specifically, these factors include total initial
and ongoing costs, potential water savings, health and safety concerns, necessity of
customer education, and ease of use and maintenance.
There are two ways of evaluating costs associated with the installation of graywater
systems: 1) the full cost of the filter unit, irrigation system, installation, operations and
maintenance (Table 2); and 2) the incremental costs of a graywater system above the
costs of a traditional above ground irrigation system, since it can be argued that the
homeowner will incur the cost of an irrigation system anyway whether or not a
graywater system is installed. Although there may be some benefit to customers by
having reduced water and sewer bills, customers will still have to spend from $5,242
(intermediate level) to $5,773 (advanced system) in capital costs, and up to $162 in
annual costs, to realize the savings. It will cost the customer approximately $3,861 to
$4,254 per AF to save 1.35 AF of potable water over the lifetime of the equipment.
At a minimum, using only incremental cost figures, the customer's capital costs will
range from $4,229 to $3,698, and the resulting cost per AF of water saved is $3,110 to
$2,717.
If the City were to offer an incentive that would make the use of graywater economically
attractive to our customers, the cost to implement such an incentive program would be
substantially greater than the incentives under our current programs. And the water
saving devices utilized in our current programs require lower operations and
maintenance, and provide more controllability and higher water savings. They are also
recognized BMP's. The designation of BMP supports the credibility of San Diego's
water conservation techniques. This will become a highly desirable status if CALFED
allocates water apportionments based upon the implementation of authorized BMP's.
12
Capacity fee reductions require downsizing of meter and connection sizes as applicable
to both water and sewer connections. This option is not recommended as4the City is
required to size for peak capacity and the installation of a graywater system does not
assure a permanent reduction in peak flow.
Because of the results of this study, and the fact that graywater is not a Best
Management Practice, the Manager recommends supporting the implementation of the
Graywater Incentive Program as proposed by the San Diego County Water Authority.
In this program, a $260 incentive will be provided for the installation of graywater
systems. Using the numbers from this local, actual use study, City staff can quantify the
benefits graywater systems provide both the customer and the City. This data can also
be used by the California Urban Water Conservation Council to assess graywater's
ability to become a recognized Best Management Practice.
ALTERNATIVE
Do not participate in the CWA's Proposed Graywater Incentive Pilot Program. This
alternative is not recommended because it does not investigate the potential of
graywater systems in San Diego. Given the varied information obtained from studies,
the City will benefit from the program data and the co -funding from the CWA and MWD.

By letter dated December 8, 1999, you requested comments about the regulation of graywater
disposal systems. We understand ReWater Systems Inc. has urged your City Council to promote
the use graywater systems in new residential developments.
On March 8, 1994, the California Building Standards Commission approved new graywater rules
developed by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). These rules prescribe
standards (Appendix G of the California Plumbing Code) for plumbing residential dwellings for
collection, filtration, and subsurface irrigation systems using graywater. Cities and counties
have authority to develop policies and procedures for the implementation of Appendix G.
The San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board has deferred regulation of graywater
disposal systems to the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health (DEH). We
have found that the County's requirements are consistent with Appendix G and that systems
complying with the requirements should not adversely impact the waters of the State.
Consequently, we do not require project proponents in San Diego County to obtain our approval
for the subsurface disposal of graywater. You should call Mr. Frank Gabrian with DEH at (619)
694-3718 for further information about the County's requirements.
Your letter indicates that ReWater Systems Inc. promotes graywater use as an alternative to
building large wastewater treatment plants. There has not been sufficient monitoring of
graywater systems in San Diego County for us to be able to draw conclusions about their long-
term performance and their effects on wastewater flows. We understand that such monitoring is
not a part of the County's regulatory program.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item 1-3
Date 12/16/97
Resolution f (rIrS" Authorizing Staff to Request a Determination
of City Eligibility for Grants and Low -interest Loans for Water Recycling
Demonstration Project
Director of Public Works
Environmental Resource
City Manager �' ` �hu, (4/5ths Vote: Yes _No X )
City staff has been working with a BECA Tenant ( ReWater_Systems) to develop a Greywater
System in new developments. This system would use "grey wastewater" to be.a partial source
of irrigation water for homes. The advantages are lower water usage and reduced sewer flows
in the Chula Vista System which would save money. Asa first part of this process, staff is
requesting Council to support staff submitting applications for grants or Iow cost loans to test
this process. This resolution does not obligate the City to aril/ally apply for the loaii or grant;
but merely authorizes staff to ask the affected agencies to determine our eligibility and to submit
an application_
RECOMMENDATION: Approve resolution authorizing staff to seek a determination on
eligibility of financial assistance
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Staff requests authorization from Council to submit applications to determine, the City's
eligibility fir grants and low -interest loans for a water recycling demonstration project using
on -site greywater recycling systems. The purpose of the demonstration project is to determine
cost savings to the City from on -site greywater recycling; The Project supports the City's
Greenstar Program and implements the BECA mission_
On -site greywater recycling is a process whereby greywater from washing machines and
bathroom showers/tubs/sinks is collected, filtered and used for irrigation_ - The economic and
environmental benefits of on -site greywater recycling are very significant. Fresh water intake
is reduced by nearly 44 %. Wastewater effluent is reduced by nearly 50%. Energy demand for
transportation or`twater and wastewater is reduced b4-44% and50%,. respectively_
California passed legislation in 1994 which legalized greywater recycling. Appendix G of the
California PIumbing Code stipulates the conditions under which greywater recycling may occur
and the specifications for the system. The only systemmeeting building code requirements that
staff is aware of is manufactured by ReWater Systems Inc_, a BECA tenant
Page 2, Item
Meeting Date 12/I6/97
The Demonstration Project will quantify cost savings to the City and others from on -site
greywater recycling. During the Project, ReWater systems will be instaIlk in a representative
sample of new homes. Fresh water conservation and wastewater reduction will be monitored.
The budget for the Demonstration Project is estimated to range -between $425,000 and $1.27
million, depending upon the final number of homes used in the Demonstration. Staff is currently
evaluating several different potential funding sources for the Demonstration Project, including
grants and loans from government agencies, contributions from developers, the
Metropolitan Water District of Southern Ctiifornia and the San Diego County Water Authority.
Staff will return to Council with additional information ility
on about funding availab and_
recommendations -for _. further action. Staffrequa tiests rovaT now to determine the City's
eligibility for potential sources of funding inthe form of grants or low -interest loans. The City
will be under no obligation as a result of these activities.
Greywater recycling first appeared in -the United- States- in the —1970s when an increased -
environmental awareness caused homeowners to look for ways to reduce water consumption_
FarIy systems were typically designed and installed by homeowners themselves. These systems
were fraught with mechanical difficulties and furthermore were iIlega.L After legaiiration of
greywater in 1994, commercial systems designed for installation by licensed plumbers became
available. Field trials and economic studies conducted by the City of Los Angeles, . the
University of California,- Los Angeles and the University of California,.. Berkeley established the
economic and environmental benefit -from on -site greywater recycling_ The City -of Los
Angeles and UCB studies are attached_. -
One of the rust. commercially available systems was developed and patP.nt. by ReWater
Systems. ReWater systems have been in use for eight years in Northern California. ReWater
became a BECA tenant in 1996 in order to expand into the Southern California and Mexican
markets.
ECONOMIC BENEFITS TO THE CITY FROM GREYWA i hit RECYCLING
There is potential for savings in two areas: -I) reduce the need to parallel existing. sewers that
arr' pt flows from growth areas, 2) reduce the need to acquire additional treatment capacity from
the City of San Diego_ -.
Chula Vista needs to improve portions of sewer systems in the downstream sewage basins of
Poggi Canyon and Telegraph Canyon. Poggi Canyon will be paralleled in the near future and
should be constructed to its ultimate size. However, Telegraph Canyon Sewer system has
several segments in the existing system that will need to be upgraded over the years asgrowth
occuz; in those basins. Significant reduction in future -flows may allow us to avoid or at Ieast
de - y constructign of some of those segments_ Tat --sewers have to be designed for peak flow
and before any decision to avoid future construction of any segments are made a study on the
effectiveness of reduced peak flows should be conducted.
Chula Vista currently owns 19.34 million gallons per day (mad) capacity in the Metro system.
Our current flow is currently around 12 med. A significant reduction in average daily flow per
new household would allow us to remain within the capacity we currently own. Again a detailed
study of a demonstration project should be conducted over a one to two year period in order to
assess the impact of these greywater systems on our average daily flow. It is staff's opinion that
Page 3, Item
Meeting Date 12/I6/97
we could lower the need for new capacity in the Metro system, but would be reluctant to reduce
the size of any new sewer lines based on Iower flows. That is because pipelines need to be
designed for peak flow while METRO capacity is based on average daily flow. In either case
a study of a demonstration project would determine the amount of benefit the sewer system
would obtain from this process.
Secondary economic benefits will accrue to the City by, assuring. that future growth is not
constrained by an inadequate supply of fresh water. An additional economic benefit to the City
will be gained through the support of BECA-based ReWater Systems, which could experience
considerable growth as a result of this Project.
ECONOMIC BENEFITS TO HOMEOWNERS FROM GREYWA IbR RECYCLING
Braise Otay Water District rates are based on consumption, new homeowners with greywater
recycling systems will realize significant savings in water bills. The average annual savings per
household would amount to $187 over the life of a 30 year mortgage. This numberis based on
the. following assumptions:
2.8 persons per household;
the 1997 Eastern Area average water rate;
minimum freshwater used to supplement irrigation; an
minimum drotight Iosses.
The City's flat sewer rate does not provide art opportunity to reward homeowners for reduced
sewer use.
The ReWater system is completely automatic and self-cleaning. A computerI7 ii control system
allows the homeowner to operate the greywater program much like a typical irrigation system.
Plumbing additions to the basic plumbing system, will be made during home construction to
capture greywater from the bathroom sink/tub/shower andwashing. machine_ The greywater is
automatically piped to a holding tank and filter. Fromthe filter greywater is pumped to a
below -ground irrigation system, which is considerably more efficient than above -ground
irrigation systems which are typimily installed iri new homes: ReWarei systems retail for
$1895. However, when purchased in quantity,the price will be Iower. Also the irrigation
-=',''piping and emitters will have to be installed. Staff estimates that for planter areas, these costs
will be similar to the costs of installing a drip irrigation system. A ReWater brochure is
attached.
The Dmonstration Project will comply with all California codes pertaining to on -site greywater
recycling. The/ California Plumbing Code stipulates allowable soil conditions, hydrologic
conditions and system specifications. The San Diego County Health Department, and the local,
Department of Building and Housing have approved the use of Greywater systems.
Economic Benefits to the City from the Demonstration Project
The purpose of the Demonstration Project is to quantify water conservation and wastewater
reduction from on -site greywater recycling. However, the City will economically benefit from
the Project if the number of homes in the Eastern area are sufficient to avoid an upgrade of
Page 4, Item
Meeting Date 12/16/97
trunk sewers and reduces the need to purchase additional capacity from the City of San Diego
or other agency. For instance, if the Demonstration Project is in the TeIeg1 ph Canyon Sewer
Basin, the extent of paralleling the existing trunk sewer could be significantly reduced.
Demonstration Project Scope of Work
During the Demonstration Project, it isproposed that ReWater systems will be installed in
approximately 200-300 homes in a newly developed subdivision. During a one to two year
period, wastewater reduction and fresh water conservationwill be documented by comparing the
wastewater flows and- water consumption in the demonstration homes with- a- control- group
located in a similar type subdivision . that does not have a greywater _system installed. -
Demonstration Project Budget and Funding
The Project budget is estimated to range between $425,000 and $1.27 million, depending on the
number of homes used in the demonstration. This includes a budget for the ReWater systems
and the monitoring study which will quantify water conservation and wastewater reduction.
A number of possible funding sources have been identified, including grants, low interest loans,
utility rebates and utility discounts. Staff is assessing the applicability and terms of potential
funding sources. Specific fundingscenarios include:
• Grants
Several government agencies have grants for which this Project may qualify. These
include the Border Environmental Cooperative Commission, the Commission for
Environmental Cooperation, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the California
Department of Water Resources, EPA and State Water Resources Control Board. The
City would be the Grantee for a grant from any of these sources.
• Low interest Loans
Low -interest loans are currently available to qualifying agencies from numerous State and
Federal agencies. The Ioan process is similar to that currently used by the City for HUD
projects. Because of the extremely Iow interest rate on the Ioans, the City could have
a financial gain from the interest accrued on the loan. The 20-year loans are currently
available for a rate of 2_25% to 5.5%. Using the loan funds, the City would pay for
installation of the systems during home construction. The City would be reimbursed by
..the developer at the time of sale of the home. -Staff is developing further information on
this scenario such as Ioan security requirements, etc_
• Utility Rebates and Discounts
The San Diego County Water Authority may provide a rebate for each installed system:
Depending upon the extent of a match from local agencies, the amount of the County
Authority rebate will range between $285 to $647. Staff has initiated discussion with the
Otay Water District on a potential rebate or discount from the District_ Metropolitan
Water District of Southern California has historically participated in local water agency
Page 5, Item
Meeting Date 12/I6/97
rebate programs by contributing matching dollars. Tne City of San Diego is considering
including greywater recycling systems in their Iow-fow toilet and shower head rebate
program which was part of the Point Loma settlement.
Developer Participation
At this point in time, there has not been a commitment from . developers to participatein the
program. A meeting was called between ReWater systems and the developers by McMillin
Company to discuss the concerns with the system.
Staff did not attend the meeting, but it was reported that there was discussion on the impacts of
water in the yards with the possibility of soil problems, concern of too much water in small lots, .
inability of homeowners to operate and maintain the system, how the systems would-be:finnced,
would the installation be voluntary orrequired-by the City, : _ what would be the economic
benefits to the homeowner and developer, the developers have had considerable lawsuits over.
the past decade and don't want to do anything that would cause structural problems to houses.
City Building and Housing staff also have concerns with the operation of the systems. The
concerns of the developers and. Building and Housing staff would have to be satisfied prior to
a project being installed.
There has to be considerable work on the part of ReWater Systems and City staff .to convince
the developers that this system should be tried.. Financing mechanisms need to be developed to
main: it economically feasible for developers to participate_ Ona limited basis; Public Works
staff is proposing a. 25 % reduction in single family sewer connectionfees- for the 200E to 300
homes that could be in the demonstration project. This is based on the proposition that sewage
to the sewer system will be reduced by 50% on a annual. basis. That would be a fee reduction
of $555. per single family lot The Study would demonstrate over a one to two year period if
that reduction was justified. If it is found to be justified, the fee reduction program could be
continued.
Demonstration Protect Schedule
If appropriate funding is secured and Councilapproves the. Demonstration. Project, the Project
could beinitiated as early as Spring or Summer 1998.. Depending upon monitoring results and
meteorological conditions, the Demonstration Project will have a duration of one to two years,
concluding in either January 1999 or January 2000.
Coordination with Otav Water District
Otay Water Distnict has been participating with stdff to develop the saerincations for the
Demonstration Project The District has provided data on water use, water rates and Iocal
meteorological data. Staff has initiated discussions with the District about potential District
rebates or discounts. A Memorandum of Understanding will be executed with the District for
their support of the City in the Demonstration Project, during which the District will provide
water use and meteorological data.
Impact of On -Site Grevwater Recycling on ReE-ional Reclamation Protects
Page 6, Item
Meeting Date 12/16/97
On -site greywater recycling compliments, not conflicts with, regional reclamation facilities.
This results from the fact that regional water reclamation projects like the Suth Bay and North
. City reclamation plants do not provide reclaimed water to individual homes. City of San Diego
reclamation managers were .briefedon the _Project_ They- are going to include educational
materials about greywater recycling in reclamation material being sent to San Diego residents.
Environmental Benefits of Grevwater Recycling _
The environmental benefits from greywater recycling are extensive:
• Less fresh water will be withdrawn from the Colorado River and the
Sacramento -San Joaquin Delta, the two major sources of water for Southern
California.
• Less wastewater will be discharged to marine and coastal environments.
• Fewer chemicals for water purification and wastewater treatment will be used.
• Less energy production will be required to transport water and wastewater.
CONCLUSIONS
The item before the Council tonight is to authorize the staff to apply to different agencies to
have them determine our eligibility for funding assistance_ Council is notauthori7ing staff to
start a Demonstration Project. No specific project has b= selected at this time_ The project
location and financing details will come back .to Council inthe. future, after eligibility of
financial assistance and agreement with a developer has been obtained_ At that time, Council
will be requested to approve a sewer connection fee reduction as an incentive to install the
system_
There is pbtential for considerable benefit for the city,homeowners and developers_
FISCAL -IMPACT: If the project is proven successful, and sewage production can: be reduced
significantly, there would be substantial savings to the City, to developers, and to future
homeowners. The savings to the City and developers would be due to the reduced need to
purchase additional sewer capacity from the Metro Sewer system, and from the reduced need
to upgrade downstream trunk sewers.. The full amount of the reduction is unknown at this time.
One purpose of the Demonstration Project is to better quantify these savings.

The Authority supports the concept of conservation. Greywater use is a mechanism in
which to achieve this. However, we have attended one meeting at the San Diego
County Water Authority regarding this matter. We learned that existing homes would
need to have their waste plumbing system retrofitted, including some physical removal
of walls and floors (interior and exterior). The net result is an extremely costly project
for each household (approximately $5,000.00).
As we understand it, the use of greywater is mainly for irrigation. The concern is most
of the soils in this area are clays, which are poor in allowing the water to saturate or
percolate. The net result is a potential health threat to the general public from runoff.
Our general conclusions are as follows:
1) Greywater system is cost effective for new development only.
2) Soil conditions need to be considered before allowing use.
3) Health concerns need to be addressed by the State of California
Department of Health Services.

GUIDELINE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF GREYWATER SYSTEMS
August 31, 1999
PURPOSE:
This guideline is tosupplement the California Plumbing Code (CPC), Appendix G "Graywater
Systems for Single -Family Dwellings" and "Graywater Guide" published by the Department of
Water resources. This additional information and direction is to assist staff in clarifying the plan
check, field review and installation processes. The process is designed to allow homeowners to
easily install graywater systems, while minimizing health risks. This guideline will also address
system failures, and our response to complaints associated with graywater systems.
BACKGROUND:
The San Diego Graywater Ordinance and Standards, which went into effect in November 1991,
allowed the installation of graywater systems in the unincorporated areas of the County on lots
previously developed for the use of septic systems, or on any lot during a declared drought
emergency.
In September 1992, Appendix "G", of the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), "Graywater Systems
for Single Family Dwellings" was approved by the International Association of Plumbing and
Mechanical Officials (IAPMO). Appendix "G" permitted the use of graywater irrigation by
subsurface systems and prohibited the use of graywater by aerial spraying, surface or drip
irrigation.
On March 8, 1994, the California Buildings Standards Commission approved Appendix "G",
"Graywater Systems for Single -Family Dwellings" as part of the California Plumbing Code
(CPC). This Appendix permits the use of graywater irrigation by subsurface drip or mini -leach
line systems and prohibited surface irrigation.
On March 18, 1997, the California Building Standards Committee approved Appendix "G",
"Graywater Systems". This appendix expanded the use of graywater systems to all parcels in the
state and defined "Air Gap" as a "Space or Other Physical Device Which Prevents Backflow".
AUTHORITY:
CPC, Title 24, Part 5, California Administrative Code, Appendix "G", "Graywater
Systems For Single Family Dwellings" which addresses the permitting, inspection and
specifications for subsurface disposal of graywater.
"Environmental and public health through leadership, partnership and science"
-2—
■ San Diego County Code, Title 6, Division 8, Chapter 3, Section 68.30i et al, known as
the Septic Tank Ordinance, addresses the permitting, inspection and specifications for
subsurface sewage disposal systems.
San Diego County Code Section 53.101 et al, establishes the San Diego County
Plumbing Code which adopts the following sections of the UPC: Sections 301 et al, 407
through 409, and 1101 et al, and all other Appendices except Appendix I, Subsurface
disposal systems.
OBJECTIVES:
• To ens. ,re subsurface graywater systems wi :1 not create groundwater o_ public health
hazards.
■ To educate the general public on the proper operation and maintenance of graywater
systems.
• To permit and inspect all graywater systems installed in San Diego County.
• To allow for easy installation while minimizing nuisances and health risks.
■ To provide direction to staff for the review and installation of graywater systems.
BASIC CRITERIA:
■ The septic system or public sewer is the required fail-safe backup for a graywater system
and this allows flexibility with graywater installations. The installation of a graywater
system does not allow for the reduction in size of the sewage disposal system.
■ Percolation tests may be waived unless there is evidence of impervious soil conditions.
• If percolation testing is necessary the minimum number of test holes would be based on
the number of tests needed to describe the soil conditions of the site. There will be no set
minimum number of test holes.
The installation of a graywater system in fill is allowed because of the following:
1. Limited amount of water discharged through the graywater system each day.
2. Graywater systems are not allowed in clay soils
3. Graywater systems are shallow in depth.
Even though graywater systems are allowed in fill soil, there are some risks and the
homeowner should be made aware that fill soil does not have the same characteristics as
natural soil. Compacted fill soil is not the same as natural soil, and it usually does not
percolate well. Water movement in fill may be in any direction depending on uniformity
of the soil.

SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES
The "Graywater Guide" published by the Department of Water Resources, contains the
"Graywater Mandatory Measures Checklist" which is to be used for plan check, site review and
system installation inspection. This checklist is very thorough and should be helpful. Please see
Appendix "A" for a reference copy. An Analysis of activities relating to plan check, site review,
system inspection and fee collection has been made based on the type of graywater system.
Please see Appendix "B", "Graywater Systems, Plan Check, • Site Check and Inspection
Breakdown" for a quick reference.
SYSTEM DEFINITIONS
■ SIMPLE COMPONENT SYSTEM - No pump is proposed.
• MULTI -COMPONENT SYSTEM - Filter backwash with potable water connection
and/or a pump is proposed.
• COMPLEX SYSTEM - The review of tentative maps for approval of graywater systems,
individual systems with multi -collection tanks/pumps and irrigation fields or any other
projects which may require extensive review.
PERMITTING PROCESS:
We have met with the City Building Departments regarding the permitting process of graywater
systems and an agreement has been made through the International Conference of Building
Officials (ICBO), per an ICBO Policy. The process and breakdown of responsibilities are as
follows:
The building departments will permit and inspect the sewer lateral connection, water line
connection with backflow device, graywater plumbing and any electrical connections. The DEH
will permit and inspect everything from and including the holding tank to the last point of
graywater discharge, including pressure testing.
1. The process will start with DEH. The customer will be advised to contact the nearest
DEH office. At that time, a determination will be made, based on city/county
requirements, lot size, groundwater level, and percolation rates (if known) on the
feasibility of the graywater system on the property. Drawings, specifications and
requirements of Section G-4 of the CPC will be based on what is or is not known about
the lot.
2. The completed plans will be submitted with the appropriate fee to DEH.
3. After approval of the system design plans, the applicant will be referred to the water
purveyor for approval of proper backflow protection until such time that the DEH has a
post meter backflow program satisfactory to the water purveyors (this referral will be
made only for non -gravity systems).
-4-
4. Upon proof of satisfactory backflow protection (where required), the DEH will issue an
installation permit to a contractor or lawful agent of the homeowner. Upon approval of
the plans by DEH, the customer will be advised to go to the local building department
and request the appropriate permit. This permit will not be issued to the customer unless
the customer has an installation permit from DEH.
a. The building permit will be for the connection between the graywater tank and the
sewer lateral, any potable water line connection with required back -flow device,
the graywater plumbing to the tank and any electrical service. Electrical is
usually a cord and plug connected sump pump.
b. The building department permit will be finaled only after the DEH permit has
been signed off.
The fees will be based on the total number of fixtures added or altered. A
drawing must be submitted to show existing and proposed piping to the graywater
tank.
Figure 1 through 5 of the State Plumbing Code, Appendix G shall be used or drawings
submitted must go through plan check and additional fees will be assessed.
6. DEH will inspect the graywater system when notified by the contractor and/or
homeowner.
7. DEH will notify the local building department when the DEH permit inspection has been
completed. Following DEH approval, the local building department will make the final
inspection of the building or grant final approval of the graywater system.
At this point, the graywater permit process will be complete.
PLOT PLAN REVIEW
Whenever possible, the plan review should be done "in office" without a field review, especially
if there is an accurate as -built of the septic system on file. The one exception to this is review of
complex graywater systems, which may require site reviews. These "in office" approvals are not
to be construed as approvals at the counter or same -day approvals. The response time for an "in
office" approval is to be kept at three working days or less. The response time for site reviews is
to be the same as a septic layout (10 days).
At the time of submittal the area specialist or duty specialist is to review the plans and check the
files for percolation data or soil type information and any groundwater data. Please refer to the
following:
1. Review the files for as-builts or any percolation and groundwater information, for the
property. During the as -built review, check adjacent parcels for percolation and
groundwater information.
If the property is in an area of known high groundwater or poor percolation (>60
MPI) advise the client that the property is not suitable for the use of a graywater
system.
-5-
■ If there is no percolation test data in our files, the owner or contractor will need to
bring in three or more soil samples taken at the system depth (9" for drip & 17" for
mini -leach line). One cup of soil per sample should be sufficient for texturing.
2. If there is no percolation information, or if the submittal contains soil samples (three or
more at the system depth), then the samples are to be textured by staff to determine the
sand, silt and clay content. For reference, please refer to the EPA Design Manual
Chapter three et al, table 3-7 page 39 and table 7-2 page 214.
• If the sample textures out to be sand, sandy loam, silty loam, loam or porous silt loam
then refer to table G-2 & G-3 within Appendix "G" of the State Plumbing Code,
"Graywater Systems".
• If the sample textures -out to be clay loam, silty clay, clay with considerable
sand/gravel, or clay, then a percolation test and field review will be necessary.
■ If there is insufficient information to ascertain the soil type, or if there are questions
as to high groundwater, then a site review will be necessary.
3. The plot plan review will be similar to a septic layout review. The following items are
specific to all graywater systems:
■ Three way valve for diversion of graywater to graywater system or sewer/septic
system.
• Gray -water Tank is to be vented, with a locking gasketed lid, meeting a nationally
recognized standard, and be labeled "GRAYWATER IRRIGATION SYSTEM,
DANGER - UNSAFE WATER".
■ Graywater Tank Location to allow overflow by gravity flow to sewer or septic
system.
■ Over flow pipe without shutoff valve which allows gravity flow to sewer or septic
system.
• System calculations with irrigation zones.
■ Pump systems which include pump description, the pump curve or head information
and model number. Also elevations from the pump to the highest point in the
graywater system must be provided. A pressure reducer is required if the pump outlet
exceeds 20 PSI.
• Backflow valve for Pump Systems.
-6-
Subsurface Drip Irrigation check for the following:
• Automatic Flush Valve/Vacuum Breaker for each irrigation zone.
• Emitter model number, emitter size, spacing of fourteen inches and coefficient of
manufacturing variation.
• Backflow device to protect the potable water line connection to the backwash filter.
• Filter rated at 140-mesh one inch with a capacity of 25 gallons per minute.
• Other items - valves, switches, timers, any$other controls.
SITE REVIEW
The site review is similar to layout review with the main point being to determine if there are any
soil, groundwater or setback concerns which could result in the improper discharge of graywater.
Following items are specific to graywater systems:
■ Graywater tank location to allow draining or overflow by gravity to the sewer or
septic system.
■ If a pump system is used, the elevations are to be verified with a hand level.
A For setbacks please refer to Appendix "G" of the State Plumbing Code, "Graywater
Systems"
SYSTEM INSPECTION
The graywater system inspection is similar to a septic system inspection with the main focus
being the tank installation and line or emitter location to determine if there are any conditions
which could result in a surface discharge of graywate".
Following items are specific to all graywater systems:
• The system components are to be per plan, for tank size; pipe, pump and fitting
type and number; and trench length or number of emitters.
• The graywater tank, piping and emitters and other materials are to meet a
nationally recognized testing standard, such as IAPMO, NSF, AWWA and ASTM.
• Graywater tank installed on compacted fill or 3" concrete.
• The graywater tank is to be labeled "GRAYWATER IRRIGATION SYSTEM,
DANGER - UNSAFE WATER".
® Tank lid is to be gasketed and locking.
• Tank and system leak test from the tank to the irrigation trench, the system is to be
watertight.
- 7 -
• The tank is to be properly vented.
• Pump systems are to be pressure tested from the tank to the point of irrigation,
emitter or trench. The system is to be pressure tested for five minutes at 40 PSI,
before burial. Note: The materials for a pump system are the same as those for a
subsurface drip irrigation.
• All graywater piping is to be marked or have a continuous tape stating
"DANGER - UNSAFE WATER".
• Suply lines glued and water tight.
• Dual irrigation zones.
• Maintenance manual provided by the contractor.
SUBSURFACE DRIP IRRIGATION check for the following:
■ Supply lines of PVC class 200, with schedule 40 fittings, drip lines Poly or flexible
PVC.
• Filter type per plan.
■ Automatic flush valve/vacuum breaker for each irrigation zone.
• Backwash line to the sewer or septic system.
• Emitters type per plan.
■ Pressure reducer when pump exceeds 20 PSI.
• Other items such as valves, switches, timers and controls.
MINI -LEACH LINE SYSTEM check for the following:
• The supply lines are to be watertight and glued, ABS or PVC with schedule 40
fittings
• The leach pipe is to be a minimum of 3" perforated pipe HDPE, PE, ABS or PVC.
MAINTENANCE
The maintenance of graywater systems depends on the type of system and sources of graywater.
Most systems will need some type of filter, which will need to be cleaned regularly. Pump
systems have backflow-valves to prevent short cycling of the pump; these should be periodically
checked for leakage or replaced every few years. Drip systems are subject to clogging, to
address this problem they are installed with fine mesh filters. These mesh filters need to be
backwashed often to prevent clogging and regularly inspected for tears or wear. If the system is
installed by a contractor, then the contractor is to provide the owner with a maintenance manual.
-8-
COMPLAINTS
• When a complaint of a graywater system failure is received, it is to be responded to as
would any sewage complaint. The failure is to be investigated to determine causes
and necessary repairs. Official notices are to be issued whenever there is a surface
discharge of graywater.
Following the review of the failure, staff are to fill out a graywater system failure report.
The report is to be sent to the appropriate Supervising Environmental Health Specialist,
Land Use Program.
• . A database of information will be maintained to provide reports to the Board of
Supervisors or cities.
• Records of the design, construction, and repair of graywater systems will be at each
Land Use field office.
■ Complaint investigations or observations of illegal and non -permitted graywater
system installations by contractors or incomplete/erroneous reports submitted by
design engineers/consultants are to be forwarded to the area supervisor to take
appropriate action through the State Department of Consumer Affairs.
SUMMARY:
The installation of graywater systems within San Diego County is new and changes to these
guidelines are expected as systems are installed. If there are any questions, please bring them up
to your immediate supervisor.

APPENDIX G
GRAYWATER SYSTEMS
Title 24, Part 5, California Administrative Code
G-1 Graywater Systems. (General)
(a)
The provisions of this Appendix shall apply to the construction, installation,
alteration and repair of graywater systems for subsurface landscape
irrigation. The graywater system shall not be connected to any potable
water system without an air gap (a space or other physical device which
prevents backflow) and shall not result in any surfacing of the graywater.
Except as otherwise provided for in this Appendix, the provisions of the
Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) shall be applicable to graywatef
installations.
(b) The type of system shall be determined on the basis of location, soil type,
and ground water level and shall be designed to accept all graywater
connected to the system from the building. The system shall discharge into
subsurface irrigation fields and may include surge tank(s) and
appurtenances, as required by the Administrative Authority.
(c) No graywater system, or part thereof, shall be located on any lot other than
the lot which is the site of the building or structure which discharges the
graywater; nor shall any graywater system or part thereof be located at any
point having less than the minimum distances indicated in Table G-1.
(d) No permit for any graywater system shall be issued until a plot plan with
appropriate data satisfactory to the Administrative Authority has been
submitted and approved. When there is insufficient lot area or
inappropriate soil conditions for adequate absorption of the graywater, as
determined by the Administrative Authority, no graywater system shall be
permitted. The Administrative Authority is a city or county.
No permit shall be issued for a graywater system which would adversely
impact a geologically sensitive area, as determined by the Administrative
Authority.
Private sewage disposal systems existing or to be constructed on the
premises shall comply with Appendix I of this code or applicable local
ordinance. When abandoning underground tanks, Section 722.0 of the
UPC shall apply. Also, appropriate clearances from graywater systems
shall be maintained as provided in Table G-1. The capacity of the private
(g)
sewage disposal system, including required future areas, shall not be
decreased by the existence or proposed installation of a graywater system
servicing the premises.
Installers of graywater systems shall provide an operation and maintenance
manual, acceptable to thA Administrative Authority, to the owner of each
system. Graywater systems require regular or periodic maintenance.
(h) The Administrative Authority shall provide the applicant a copy of this
Appendix.
G-2 Definitions.
Graywater is untreated waste water which has not come into contact with toilet
waste. Graywater includes waste water from bathtubs, showers, bathroom wash
basins, clothes washing machines, and laundry tubs, or an equivalent discharge as
approved by the Administrative Authority. It does not include waste water from kitchen
sinks, photo lab sinks, dishwashers, or laundry water from soiled diapers.
Surfacing of graywater means the ponding, running off, or other release of graywater
from the land surface.
G-3 Permit.
It shall be unlawful for any person to construct, install or alter, or cause to be
constructed, installed or altered any graywater system in a building or on premises
without first obtaining a permit to do _uen work from the Administrative Authority.
G-4 Drawings and Specifications.
The Administrative Authority may require any or all of the following information to
be included with or in the plot plan before a permit is issued for a graywater system:
(a)
Plot plan drawn to scale completely dimensioned, showing lot lines and
structures, direction and approximate slope of surface, location of all
present or proposed retaining walls, drainage channels, water supply lines,
wells, paved areas and structures on the plot, number of bedrooms and
plumbing fixtures in each structure, location of private sewage disposal
system and 100 percent expansion area or building sewer connecting to
public sewer, and location of the proposed graywater system.
„a„ xiatsaaaa
(b) Details of construction necessary to ensure compliance with the
requirements of this Appendix together with full description of the complete
installation including installation methods, construction and materials as
required by the Administrative Authority.
(c) A log of soil formations and ground water level as determined by test holes
dug in close proximity to any proposed irrigation area, together with a
statement of water absorption characteristics of the soil at the proposed site
as determined by approved percolation tests. In lieu of percolation tests,
the Administrative Authority may allow the use of Table G-2, an infiltration
rate designated by the Administrative Authority, or an infiltration rate
determined by a test approved by the Administrative Authority.
(d) A characterization of the graywater for commercial, industrial, or
institutional systems, based on existing records or testing.
G-5 Inspection and Testing.
(a) Inspection
1. All applicable provisions of this Appendix and of Section 103.5 of the
UPC shall be complied with.
2. System components shall be properly identified as to manufacturer.
3. Surge tanks shall be installed on dry, level, well -compacted soil if in a
drywall, or on a level, three inch concrete slab or equivalent, if above
ground.
4. Surge tanks shall be anchored against overturning
5. If the irrigation design is predicated on soil tests, the irrigation field
shall be installed at the same location and depth as the tested area.
6. Installation shall conform with the equipment and installation methods
identified in the approved plans.
7. Graywater stub -out plumbing may be allowed for future connection
prior to the installation of irrigation lines and landscaping. Stub -out
shall be permanently marked "GRAYWATER STUB -OUT, DANGER -
UNSAFE WATER."
(b) Testing
1. Surge tanks shall be filled with water to the overflow line prior to and
during inspection. All seams and joints shall be left exposed and the
tank shall remain watertight.
2. A flow test shall be performed through the system to the point of
graywater irrigation. All lines and components shall be watertight.
G-6 Procedure for Estimating Graywater Discharge
(a) Single Family Dwellings and Multi -Family Dwellings
The Administrative Authority may utilize the graywater discharge procedure
listed below, water use records, or calculations of local daily per person interior
water use:
1. The number of occupants of each dwelling unit shall be calculated as
follows:
First Bedroom
Each additional bedroom
2 occupants
1 occupant
2. The estimated graywater flows of each occupant shall be calculated as
follows:
Showers, bathtub and wash basins 25 GPD/occupant.
Laundry 15 GPD/occupant.
3. The total number of occupants shall be multiplied be the applicable
estimated graywater discharge as provided above and the type of
fixtures connected to the graywater system.
(b) Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional Projects
The Administrative Authority may utilize the graywater discharge procedure
listed below, water use records, or other documentation to estimate graywater
discharge:
1. The square footage of the building divided by the occupant load factor
from UPC Table 10-A equals the numbers of occupants.
'4
2. The number of occupants times the flow rate per person (minus toilet
water and other disallowed sources) from UPC Table 1-2 equals the
estimated graywater discharge per day.
The graywater system shall be designed to distribute the total amount of
estimated graywater discharged daily.
G-7 Required Area of Subsurface Irrigation.
Each irrigation zone shall have a minimum effective irrigation area for the type of
soil and infiltration rate to distribute all graywater produced daily , pursuant to
Section G-6, without surfacing. The required irrigation area shall be based on the
estimated graywater discharge, pursuant to Section G-6, size of surge tank, or a
method determined by the Administrative Authority.
If a mini-leachfield irrigation system is used, the required square footage shall be
determined from Table G-2, or equivalent, for the type of soil found in the excavation.
The area of the irrigation field shall be equal to the aggregate length of the perforated
pipe sections within the irrigation zone times the width of the proposed mini-leachfield
trench.
No irrigation point shall be within five vertical feet of the highest known seasonal
groundwater nor where graywater may contaminate the groundwater or ocean water.
The applicant shall supply evidence of ground water depth to the satisfaction of the
Administrative Authority.
G 3 Determination of Irrigation Capacity.
(a) In order to determine the absorption quantities of soils other than those
listed in Table G-2, the proposed site may be subjected to percolation tests
acceptable to the Administrative Authority or determined by the
Administrative Authority.
(b) When a percolation test is required, no mini -leach field system or
subsurface drip irrigation system shall be permitted if the test shows the
absorption capacity of the soil is less than 60 minutes/inch or more rapid
than 5 minutes/inch, unless otherwise permitted by the Administrative
Authority.
(c) The irrigation field size may be computed from Table G-2, or determined by
the Administrative Authority or a designee of the Administrative Authority.
G-9 Surge Tank Construction. (FIG. 1)
(a) Plans for surge tanks shall be submitted to the Administrative Authority for
approval. The plans shall show the data required by the Administrative
Authority and may include dimensions, structural calculations, and bracing
details.
(b) Surge tanks shall be constructed of solid, durable materials, not subject to
excessive corrosion or decay and shall be watertight.
(c) Surge tanks shall be vented as required by Chapter 9 of this Code and
shall have a locking, gasketed access opening, or approved equivalent, to
allow for inspection and cleaning.
(d) Surge tanks shall have the rated capacity permanently marked on the unit.
In addition, "GRAYWATER IRRIGATION SYSTEM, DANGER - UNSAFE
WATER° shall be permanently marked on the surge tank.
(e) Surge tanks installed above ground shall have an overflow, separate from
the line connecting the tank with the irrigation fields. The overflow shall
have a permanent connection to a sewer or to a septic tank, and shall be
protected against sewer line backflow by a backwater valve. The overflow
shall not be equipped with a shut-off valve.
(f) The overflow and drain pipes shall not be less in diameter than the inlet
pipe. The vent size shall be based on the total graywater fixture units, as
outlined in UPC Table 7-F or local equivalent. Unions or equally effective
fittings shall be provided for all piping connected to the surge tank.
(g) Surge tanks shall be structurally designed to withstand anticipated loads.
Surge tank covers shall be capable of supporting an earth load of not less
than 300 pounds per square foot when the tank is designed for
underground installation.
(h) Surge tanks may be install ,d below ground in a dry well on compacted soil,
or buried if the tank design is approved by the Administrative Authority.
The system shall be designed so that the tank overflow will gravity drain to
a sanitary sewer line or septic tank. The tank must be protected against
sewer line backflow by a backwater valve.
(I) Materials
1 Surge tanks shall meet nationally recognized standards for non -
potable water and shall be approved by the Administrative Authority.
2. Steel surge tanks shall be protected from corrosion, both externally
and internally, by an approved coating or by other acceptable means.
G-10 Valves and Piping. (FIG. 1)
Graywater piping discharging into a surge tank or having a direct connection to a
sanitary drain or sewer piping shall be downstream of an approved waterseal type
trap(s). If no such trap(s) exists, an approved vented running trap shall be installed
upstream of the connection to protect the building from any possible waste or sewer
gasses. Vents and venting shall meet the requirements in Chapter 9 of the UPC. All
graywater piping shall be marked or shall have a continuous tape marked with the
words "DANGER - UNSAFE WATER." All valves, including the three-way valve, shall
be readily accessible and shall be approved by the Administrative Authority. A
backwater valve, installed pursuant to this Appendix, shall be provided on all surge
tank drain connections to the sanitary drain or sewer piping.
G-11 Irrigation Field Construction.
The Administrative Authority may permit subsurface drip irrigation, mini -leach
field or other equivalent irrigation methods which discharge graywater in a manner
which ensures that the graywater does not surface. Design Standards for subsurface
drip irrigation systems and mini -leach field irrigation systems follow:
(a) Standards for a subsurface drip irrigation system are:
1. Minimum 140 mesh (115 micron) filter with a capacity of 25 gallons per
minute, or equivalent, filtration, sized appropriately to maintain the
filtration rate, shall be used. The filter back -wash and flush discharge
shall be caught, contained and disposed of to the sewer system, septic
tank, or with approval of the Administrative Authority, a separate mini -
leach field sized to accept all the back -wash and flush discharge
water. Filter backwash water and flush water shall not be used for any
purpose. Sanitary procedures shall be followed when handling filter
back -wash and flush discharge of graywater.
2. Emitters shall have minimum flow path of 1200 microns and shall have
a coefficient of manufacturing variation (Cv) of no more than seven
percent. Irrigation system design shall be such that emitter flow
variation shall not exceed plus or minus ten percent. Emitters shall be
recommended by i;,e manufacture for subsurface use and graywater
use, and shall have demonstrated resistance to root intrusion. For
emitter ratings refer to: Irrigation Equipment Performance Report, Drip

designated by the Administrative Authority. Minimum spacing between
emitters is 14 inches in any direction.
4. The system design shall provide user controls, such as valves,
switches, timers, and other controllers as appropriate, to rotate the
distribution of graywater between irrigation zones.
5. All drip irrigation supply lines shall be polyethylene tubing or PVC
class 200 pipe or better and schedule 40 fittings. All joints shall be
properly solvent -cemented, inspected and pressure tested at 40 psi,
and shown to be drip tight for five minutes, before burial. All supply
lines will be buried at least eight Inches deep. Drip feeder lines can
be poly or flexible rVC tubing and shall be covered to a minimum
depth of nine inches.
6. Where pressure at the discharge side of the pump exceeds 20 pounds
per square inch (psi); a pressure reducing valve able to maintain
downstream pressure no greater than 20 psi shall be installed
downstream from the pump and before any emission device.
7. Each irrigation zone shall include a flush valve/anti-siphon valve to
prevent back siphonage of water and soil.
(b) Standards for a mini -leach field system are:
1. Perforated sections shall be a minimum 3-inch diameter and shall be
constructed of penorated high density polyethylene pipe, perforated
ABS pipe, perforated PVC pipe, or other approved materials, provided
that sufficient openings are available for distribution of the graywater
in the trench area. Material, construction and perforation of th piping
shall be in compliance with the appropriate absorption field drainage
piping standards and shall be approved by the Administrative
Authority.
2. Clean stone, gravel, or similar filter material acceptable to the
Administrative Authority, and varying in size between 3/4 inch to 2 54
inches shall be placed in the trench to the depth and grade required
by this Section. Perforated sections shall be laid on the filter material
in an approved manner. The perforated sections shall then be
covered with filter material to the minimum depth required by this
Section. The filter material shall then be covered with landscape filter
fabric or similar porous material to prevent closure of voids with earth
backfill. No earth backfill shall be placed over the filter material cover
until after inspections and acceptance.

APPENDIX "E"
IS GRAYWAI'rR USE RIGHT FOR YOU?
The State Plumbing Code allows the use of graywater systems for landscape irrigation fir single-family dwellings
effective November 1994. The Department of Environmental Health will review the design and installation of
the graywater system, and local building departments will review and inspect all plumbing changes necessary to
deliver graywater to the system.
Graywater can be safely used for subsurface landscape irrigation with a properly designed system, and the
appropriate plant selection for the graywater source. Factors that contribute to the benefit of a graywater
irrigation system include soil with good drainage characteristics, and plants that are salt and chemical tolerant.
OLEANDERS, FAN AND DATE PALMS, AGAPANTHUS, OAKS, BOUGAINVILLEA, HONEYSUCKLE, COTTONWOOD,
OLIVE, ICE PLANT, JUNIPER, AND MANY NATIVE PLANTS are salt tolerant, and would probably do well with
graywater irrigation. Food crops that have all edible parts above the ground may also be suitable for graywater
irrigation, such as FRUIT TREES, BEANS, CORN, AND TOMATOES. Shade loving and acid loving plants such as
FERNS, BEGONIAS, RhODODENDRONS, GARDENIAS, AZALEAS, VIOLETS, IMPATIENS, PRIMROSES, CAMELLIAS,
PHILODENDRONS, STAR JASMINE, HOLLY, CRAPE MYRTLE, AND REDWOODS are damaged by graywater
irrigation.
In order to minimize the amount of salts and dissolved solids that are introduced into the irrigation, a single source
of graywater, such as from bathtubs, or showers, should be considered. Soaps are now being formulated for use
with graywater systems. Cleaners and laundry detergents are the most common source of chemicals that will harm
plants, change the pH of soil, and even degrade the porosity of soil. High concentrations of potassium, sodium,
and calcium will raise the alkalinity of the soil. High concentrations of sodium in clayey soils will make the soil
stickier and less loamy. These problems may be corrected by adding agricultural gypsum and/or organic matter
to the soil.
If your irrigation site has clayish loam or sandy clay soil, you may want to limit your graywater sources to hand
basins, bathtubs, and showers. Property with these types of soil may require a percolation test performed by a
civil engineer.
If the site has the following conditions, a graywater system is not suitable for use:
o A high groundwater table, as evidenced by a flat lot with no drainage, or marsh vegetation.
o Soil made up of dense clay.
o The graywater irrigation site is along the top of a cut bank, which could allow the graywater to weep out
of the face of the cut bank.
o Property where the irrigation field has a slope greater than 25%.
o The area for irrigation is less than the area required based on calculated plumbing fixture flows into the
graywater system and the soil permeability.
o The graywater system encroaches into an existing sewage disposal system.
It is recommended that you see a landscape specialist or engineer to help you design your graywater system. In
order to obtain further information on the use of graywater, please refer to the State of California Department of
Water Resources' Graywater Guide.
Remember: Graywater can still contain bacteria and viruses that can cause illness. Therefore, graywater should
not be consumed, nor should it come into contact with open sores or eyes. Graywater is to be confined
underground for it to be safely used, and comply with the State Plumbing Code.

IS GRAYWATER RIGHT FOR YOU?
This flowchart is intended as an aid for determining if graywater can be used on your
property and/or to what extent. Some plants do not tolerate graywater because of alkaline
conditions, high sodium or chlorine which may be present in graywater. For specific

Foreword
California's Graywater Standards are now part of the State Plumbing Code, making
it legal to use graywater everywhere in California. These standards were developed and
adopted in response to Assembly Bill 3518, the Graywater Systems for Single Family
Residences Act of 1992.
This Guide was prepared to help homeowners and landscape and plumbing contrac-
tors understand the Graywater Standards and to help them design, install and maintain
graywater systems.

Why Use Graywater?
Are you tired of watching your bathing and laundry water go down the drain when it
could be put to good use on your landscape? Now it is safe and legal to reuse that
"graywater" and this guide shows you how.
In addition to conserving water and probably reducing your water and sewer bills.
you will also be "drought -proofing" your landscape by using graywater. Since more than
half of your indoor water can be reused as graywater, during shortages, when outdoor
watering may be restricted, you will have a constant source of water. With landscapes
valued at between 5 percent and 10 ?e: gent of the value of a home, this back-up supply of
water may be an important economic insurance policy for you. Furthermore, the nutrients
in graywater may be beneficial to your plants.
The seven steps to follow to put graywater to use in your landscape are:
1. Investigate the permit process
2. Prepare a plan
3. Design the graywater system
4. Submit the plan for review and approval
5. Install the system
6. Arrange for system inspection and approval
7. Use, monitor and maintain the system
If you decide not to do some of the steps yourself, you can hire a landscape contrac-
tor to install the irrigation system or a plumbing contractor to install the plumbing. They
will follow this same process.
To better illustrate how to install a residential graywater system, this guide features the Brown
family. In examples throughout the text, this family of four follows the seven steps.
The Seven Steps
The following seven steps will help you plan, design, install, and maintain your
graywater system.
�. Investigate the Permit Process
Information in this guide is based on the California Graywater Standards. In the
appendix. you will fmd a copy of Title 24. Part 5,of the California Administrative Code.
GRAYWATER SYS i'EMS FOR SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS, commonly called the California
Graywater Standards (Appendix J). These are the official rules for using graywater in
California.
The Standards require that a building permit be obtained before a
graywater system is installed. Check with your local building depart-
ment for information on their permit process and any variations
made to the Graywater Standards before you proceed.
2.. Prepare the Plan
Is a graywater system for you? By first learning
approximately how much graywater your family will
produce and how much landscape you can irrigate
with it, you will be better able to decide. Determin-
ing whether your soil is suitable for a graywater
system is another primary consideration. Once you
have decided that a graywater system is in your
future. the next step is to draw a plan and design gr&ywater
your system. standards
and how t'o

The number of plumbing fixtures which you
connect to the graywater system will determine how
much graywater is available for irrigation use. See the
section entitled "Plumbing System: Pipes and Valves"
page 8 for more information about accessing plumbing
fixtures.
The Graywater Standards use the following procedure to esti-
mate your daily graywater flow:

(1) Calculate the number of occupants of your home as foll& s:
First Bedroom
Each additional bedroom
2 occupants
1 occupant
(2) Estimated daily graywater flows for each occupant are:
Showers, bathtubs and wash basins (total) 25 Gal./Day/Occupant
Clothes washer 15 Gal./Day/Occupant
(3) Multiply the number of occupants by the estimated graywater flow.
Example: The Brown family has a three bedroom house so the system must be designed for a mini-
mum of four people. If all fixtures are connected, then each occupant is assumed to produce 40
gallons of graywater per day, resulting in a total of 160 gallons each day.
The reason graywater flow is based upon the number of bedrooms rather than the
actual number of people is that the number of bedrooms will remain constant, while the
number of people may vary over time.
Estimate the Amount of Landscape You Can Irrigate
Graywater is distributed subsurface and will efficiently maintain lawns, fruit trees,
flowers, shrubs and groundcovers. It can be used to irrigate all plants at your home except
vegetable gardens.
You do not need to do the following calculation as part of the permit process, but it
will help you determine just how much landscape your graywater will irrigate and how
many plumbing fixtures you may want to hook up to the system. On page 6, you will find
specific information about determining the minimum required irrigated area.
You can estimate either the square footage of the landscape or the number of plants
which can be irrigated. Generally, estimating the square footage is more useful for lawn
areas and subsurface drip irrigation systems while estimating the number of plants would
be more useful for trees and shrubs irrigated by a mini-leachfield system.
Use this formula to estimate the square footage of the landscape to be irrigated: 4,
LA = GW
where:
ETxPFx0.62
LA = landscaped area (square feet)
GW = estimated graywater produced (gallons per week)
ET = evapotranspiration` (inches per week)
PF = plant factor
0.62 = conversion factor (from inches of El' to gallons per week)
`Evapotranspu anon is the amount of water lost through evaporation (E) from the soil and
transpiration fl) from the plant. (This formula does not account for irrigation efficiency. If your
irrigation system does not distribute water evenly, extra water will need to be applied.)
Example: If the Brown family living in Sacramento produces 160 gallons of graywater per day, how
much lawn can be irrigated with that graywater? (160 x 7 days = 1120 gallons per week)
LA= 1120
2x.8x0.62
LA = 1129 square feet
Since Sacramento has an ET of 2 inches per week in July (the peak irrigation month
in most areas of California). the Brown family can irrigate 1129 square feet of lawn with the
available graywater.
If the landscape includes less water thirsty
plants, more than twice as much square footage can
be irrigated. For specific information about evapo-
transpiration and estimating landscape water
needs, see University of California Leaflet 21493,
Estimating Water Requirements of Landscape
Plantings, and U.C. Water Use Classification of
Landscape Species. These publications can be
obtained through your county cooperative extension office. Also, in the appendix, you will
find a list of evapotranspiration rates for the month of July for selected sites in California
An alternative to considering the square footage of the landscape is to estimate the
number of plants that can be irrigated with this 1120 gallons of graywater per week. Here is
a look -up chart to help you determine approximately how much water an individual tree or
shrub will need for one week during July:
4
Climate Relative Water Need of Plant Gallons Per Week
(Plant Factor) 200 SQ FT 100 SQ FT 50 89 FT
CANOPY CANOPY CANOPY
Coastal low water using (0.3) 38 19 10
(ET=lin/wk) medium water using (0.5) 62 31 16
high water using (0.8; 100 50 25
inland low water using (0.3) 76 38 19
(ET=2in/wk) medium water using (0.5) 124 62 31
high water using (0.8) 200 100 50
Desert low water using (0.3) 114 57 28
(ET=3in/wk) medium water using (0.5) 186 93 47
high water using (0.8) 300 150 75
(The gallons per week calculation for this chart was determined with the following formula:
Gallons per week = ET x plant factor x area x .62 (conversion factor.)(This formula does not account
for irrigation efficiency. If your irrigation system does not distribute water evenly, extra water will
need to be applied.))
Example: The 1120 gallons of graywater per week produced by the Brown family in Sacramento
could irrigate:
8 young fruit trees: 8 x 50 = 400 gallons (high water using, 50 foot canopy)
8 medium-sized shade trees: 8 x 62 = 496 (medium water using. 100 foot canopy)
7 large shrubs: 7 x z 1 = 217 (medium water using, 50 foot canopy)
total: 1113 gallons per week
The number of gallons of water per week a plant needs will vary from season to
season, plant to plant, and site to site, but this will give you a general idea about the
number of plants you can successfully irrigate in July with your graywater.
Irrigation needs of the landscape may be greater than the total available graywater.
So, even if the system includes the shower, tub and clothes washer, some supplemental
water would be necessary during the hot summer months. Contrarily, the amount of
available graywater may be greater than the amount you can use on the landscape. In that
case, you can reduce the number of plumbing fixtures connected to the graywater system.
Gather Soil and Ground Water Data
Determine the soil types and ground water level on your property. The local building
department will probably provide this information or allow you to use Table J-2 of the
Graywater Standards. If this information is not available, consult with the local building
department about the approved soil testing method. They may require that you hire a
qualified professional to conduct a percolation test, or may allow you to do it. Usu4lly you
would be required to dig test holes in close proximity to any proposed irrigation area and
conduct a percolation test. The U.C. Cooperative Extension Office, the county agricultural
agent or a local geologist, soil scientist or college instructor will be able to assist with soil
type identification and characteristics. The United States Department of Agriculture Soil
Conservation Service publishes a Soil Survey of every county which may be helpful for this
purpose.
Draw a Plot Plan
A plot plan of your property should be drawn to scale and may be required to in-
clude dimensions, lot lines, direction and approximate slope of the surface. The location of
retaining walls, drainage channels, water supply lines, wells, paved areas, and structures
should be included. If you have a septic tank, show the location of your sewage disposal
system and the required 100 percent expansion area. Provide information on the number of
bedrooms and which plumbing fixtures will be connected to
scape area that you plan to irrigate with graywater.

landscapeyou can ` p irrigate based on the graywater pro-
duced and the water needs of the plants. Now you need to
determine the minimum size of the irrigation field_ required,
based on soil type. With either a subsurface drip or mini-
Ieachfieid system, at least two irrigation zones are required
and each must irrigate enough area to distribute all the
graywater produced daily without surfacing:
For sub -surface drip irrigation systems, Table J-3 of
the Graywater Standards is used to determine the number of emitters required. The emit-
ters must be at least 14 inches apart in any direction.
Example: The Brown family produces 160 gallons of graywater per day and irrigates plants in a
sandy loam soil. Based on Table J-3. the minimum number of emitters per gallons per day of graywa-
ter production is .7 x 160 = 112 emitters. With at least 14 inches between each emitter, the total
irrigation area for one zone would be 112 emitters x 14 inches / 12 inches (to get square feet) = 130
square feet. The Browns would need 130 x 2 = 260 square feet for the minimum of two irrigation zones
required by the Graywater Standards to safely distribute their graywater without surfacing.
As we discovered earlier, the Browns could irrigate up to 1129 square feet of lawn with 160 gallons of
graywater per day. Therefore, they can design their system to irrigate over four times the minimum
irrigated area in this case and still maintain a healthy landscape.
6
If the mini-leachfield irrigation system is used, the required square footage is deter-
mined from Table J-2 of the Graywater Standards.
Example: The Brown family produces 160 gallons of graywater per day and is irrigating a sandy loam
soil. Based on Table J-2, the minimumsquare feet of irrigation area for a mini -leach field system
would be 40 square feet per 100 gallons, (160/100=1.6)1.6 x 40 = 64 square feet. The Browns would
need two irrigation zones, each 64 square feet in size, a total size of 128 square feet.
The Browns want to install a 100-foot line with a trench that is 8 inches wide to irrigate the 8 fruit
trees and 7 large shrubs along the perimeter of their yard. Then, they want to install an 80 foot line
with a trench that is 1 foot wide to irrigate 8 mature shade trees. To calculate the area of the mini-
leachfield irrigation field, the length of the line as well as the width of the trench must be considered.
Therefore, the total area of the irrigation field would be 66 square feet (100 ft. length x .66 ft. width) +
80 square feet (80 ft. length times 1 ft. width) = 146 square feet. Since 146 square feet is greater than
the minimum required irrigated area for a mini-leachfield (128 square feet). and since each zone is
greater than the required 64 square feet, the Browns meet the minimum irrigated area requirement.
Determine Location of the Graywater System
Once you know the size of the irrigation field, based on the soil and plant needs.
you can decide where to put it. Table J-1 in the Graywater Standards establishes distances
that the surge tank and irrigation field have to be from various features, such as buildings,
septic tanks, and the domestic water line. In addition, your system must be designed so
that no irrigation point is within five vertical feet of the highest known seasonal ground
water.
3. Design the Graywater System
The next step is to determine the different components of your graywater system
and prepare a description of the system itself. Included will be a determination of the
irrigated area and details of the graywater system. This construction plan includes a de-
scription of the complete installation including methods and materials.
A graywater system usually consists cf:
Plumbing Syltem made up of pipes and valves to bring the graywater out of the house
Surge tank to temporarily hold large drain flows from washing machines or bathtubs
Filter to remove particles which could clog the irrigation system
Punlp to move the water from the surge tank to the irrigation field
Irrigation Syltein to move the water to the plants
It may be helpful to refer to Figure 1 in the Graywater Standards to get a sense of
the overall layout of a graywater system. Then continue reading this section which de-
scribes the different parts needed to assemble your system. In your plan, all of the parts of
your graywater system must be identified as to the manufacturer.
Plumbing System: Pipes and Values
The plumbing fixtures which can be used easily in a graywater system depend on
the building's foundation. If your home is built on a slab foundation, most drain pipes are
buried beneath the concrete slab and the graywater from the bath and shower are unus-
able without expensive remodeling. However, if your washing machine is located near an
outside wall or in the garage. the water is easily usable.
If your home is built on a

to include in your system. The more fixtures included in the graywate collection system.
the more graywater you will have, but the more plumbing changes you will have to make. If
you are remodeling your home, this is a great time to access the plumbing and install a
graywater system.
The Graywater Standards require that all graywater piping be marked "Danger -
Unsafe Water." This is usually done by wrapping the pipe with purple tape, which is avail-
able at most irrigation supply stores. You can install graywater plumbing to a new house
for future graywater use even though you are not quite ready to install the irrigation sys-
tem. This capped off, preliminary plumbing, often referred to as "stub -out plumbing." is
allowed in the Graywater Standards E. 3 lcng as it is properly marked.
All valves in the plumbing system must be readily accessible, and backwater valves
must be installed on surge tank drain connections to sanitary drains or sewers. Finally.
piping must be downstream of a waterseal type trap.

Surge Tank
Where a graywater pipe exits the home's foundation,
it is routed to a surge tank. The tank can be located near
the house or, if the line is run underground, nearer the
irrigation area. The tank must be solid, durable, watertight
when filled, and protected from corrosion. The tank must be
vented and have a locking gasketed lid. It must be an-
chored on dry, level, compacted soil or on a three-inch
concrete slab. The capacity of the tank and "GRAYWATER
IRRIGATION SYSTEM, DANGER- UNSAFE WATER" must be
permanently marked on the tank. The tank drain and
overflow gravity drain must be permanently connected to
the sewer line or septic tank. The drain and overflow pipes
must not be less in diameter than the inlet pipe.
10
Filter
For subsurface drip irrigation systems, a 140 mesh (115 micron) one inch filter with
a capacity of 25 gallons per minute is required. A mesh size of 140 means that a screen has
140 openings per square inch. The size of the openings are 115 microns (a micron is equal
to one -thousandth of a millimeter) each, which is equivalent in measure to a 140 mesh.
Pump
If all of the plants you wish to irrigate with graywater are below the buildings drain
lines, then the graywater system and irrigation lines could use gravity to distribute the
water. If any of the plants you wish to irrigate with graywater are higher than the surge
tank or the building's drain lines you will need a small, inexpensive pump to lift the water
to the plants. A pump will increase the cost of the system slightly .
To pick the right size pump you must know:
1. the 'head' (the total lift measured in feet from the pump to the highest point in
the landscape) of your system:
2. the distance from the tank to the furthest point you wish to irrigate: and
3. the maximum discharge rate of all your graywater sources.
For both distance and head, the pump's specifications must show a gallon -per -hour
(gph) or gallon -per -minute (gpm) rate. Make sure that the rating is at least 10 gpm at the
head you will be using. Try to get a pump that does not need water cooling so that all the
water can be pumped out of the tank. Buy a pump that meets or exceeds your needs.
Check the manufacturer's specifications.
Irrigation System
The Graywater Standards allow for two kinds of irrigation systems to be used for
graywater: sub -surface drip irrigation or mini -leach fields.
Subsurface Drip Irrigation System
Here is a description of the various parts of a subsurface drip irrigation system:
Emitters: The minimum flow path of the emitters is 1200 microns (the holes can be
no smaller than 1200 thousandths of a millimeter in size). The coefficient of manu-
facturing variation (Cv) can be no more than 7 percent. Cv is a method of describ-
ing how evenly the emitters apply water at the time they come from the factory.
According to the American Society of Agricultural Engineers, good emitters have a
Cv of 5 percent or less, average emitters are between 5 and 10 percent, and mar-
ginal emitters are between 10 and 15 percent. Emitters must be recommended for
subsurface and graywater use and demonstrate resistance to root intrusion.
(To determine the emitter ratings of various products, check with your local building
department or order a copy of the Irrigation Equipment Performance Report, Drip
Emitters and Micro -Sprinklers, from the Center For Irrigation Technology, California
State University, 5730 N. Chestnut Ave., Fresno, CA 93740-0018, (209) 278-2066.)
Supply lines: PVC class 200 pipe or better and schedule 40 fittings must be used
for all supply lines. Joints, when properly glued, will be inspected and pressure
tested at 40 psi and must remain drip tight for 5 minutes. All supply lines must be
buried at least 8 inches deep.
Drip lines: Poly or flexible PVC tubing shall be used for drip lines which must be
buried at least 9 inches deep.
Pressure reducing valve: Where pressure at the discharge side of the pump exceeds
20 pounds per square inch (psi) a pressure reducing valve must be used to maintain
pressure no greater than 20 psi downstream from the pump and before any emis-
sion device.
Valves, switches. timers, and other controllers: These devices are used, as appropri-
ate, to rotate the distribution of graywater between irrigation zones and to schedule
the irrigations.
Automatic flush valve/vacuum breaker: These devices are required to prevent back
syphonage of water and soil.

Mini-Leachfield System
The dimension specifications of the mini-leachfield are found in the Graywater
Standards, Section J-11 (b) (3). Here is a description of the various parts of a mini-
leachfield system:
Perforated pipe: The pipes must be a minimum 3-inch diameter, constructed of
perforated high density, polyethylene, ABS, or PVC pipe, or other approved material.
The maximum length is 100 feet; minimum spacing between lines is 4 feet; and the
maximum grade is 3 inches per 100 feet.
Filter material: A clean stone, gravel, or similar material, sized between 3/4 and
2-1 /2 inches, must be used. This filter material is then covered with landscape
filter fabric or similar porous material before being covered with earth. Do not
backfill the trench until after it has been inspected.
4. Submit the Plan for Review and Approval
Once you have completed the application form, plot plan, construction plan, and
soil and ground water determinations, submit them to the building department. Staff will
review your submittal to insure that you are in compliance with the Graywater Standards.
Most likely, they will have a form listing the provisions of the Graywater Standards and will
check off each item as they determine it conforms with the regulations. In the Appendix
you will find a sample Graywater Measures Checklist on page
31. Once your submittal is approved, you may begin installa-
tion of your graywater system. Remember that the building
inspector will want to inspect your system before you cover
the subsur `ace drip irrigation lines or backfill the mini-
leachfield trenches.
S. Install the System
Purchase the Equipment
Your construction plan includes a description of the
materials to be used for the graywater system. This will form
the basis of your "shopping list." On the following page is a
shopping list for thesystem the Brown Family plans to
install.
In most cases, the plumbing parts, pump and tank can be purchased at your local
plumbing supply store. Look in the Yellow Pages under "Plumbing Fixtures, Parts, and
Supplies. Retail." The Yellow Pages also has listings for "Pumps -Dealers" and 'Tanks -Fiber
Glass. Plastic, Etc," or 'Tanks -Metal" if your first stop does not have all the parts you need.
"Irrigation Systems and Equipment" is the heading to look under for the compo-
nents of the subsurface drip irrigation system. The pipes for a mini-leachfleld system can
be purchased from a plumbing supply store and the gravel filter material can be found at a
"Sand and Gravel" company, listed as such in the Yellow Pages.
There are some specialty sign companies that produce the warning labels such as
"GRAYWATER IRRIGATION SYS1'>•,M-DANGER-UNSAFE WATER," needed for your graywater
system.

Install the Plumbing System 4
Modifying drain lines usually requires extensive plumbing knowledge and skills;
seeking professional assistance is recommended. This guide does not provide basic plumb-
ing instructions. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, the staff at a retail plumbing store, plumbing
books at the library, or friends may be able to provide you with the plumbing information
you will need for most of the plumbing work associated with a graywater system.
The drain pipes in homes built before 1970 are generally cast iron, while those built
since 1970 will probably be plastic. The tools required to make the necessary plumbing
changes will usually include: a hacksaw, tape measure, flashlight, hammer, pipe wrenches
(metal pipes only), and screw drivers. An electric drill and a hole saw may bu necessary to
provide access holes through walls. If you do not have the necessary tools, most rental
companies rent these tools inexpensively. Be careful not to connect any part of the graywa-
ter system piping to the existing water supply system.
In order to clearly identify graywater pipes, all graywater lines must be continuously
marked along the entire length of the pipe with a warning label. Identification of graywater
pipes is important to avoid the possibility of cross -connecting graywater pipes with fresh
water supply lines. This is for your protection as well as for the protection of future occu-
pants of your home who may be unaware of the exact location of the graywater plumbing
and is especially important with graywater pipes that resemble standard freshwater supply
pipes.
Install the Subsurface Drip Irrigation System
Once again, this guide provides a brief overview of the installation process, not basic
landscape irrigation instructions. You can call the local chapter of the California Landscape
Contractor's Association or their state office at (916) 448-2522 for a list of qualified refer-
rals to install subsurface drip irrigation systems.
If you decide to do it yourself, first, gather all the parts you have determined will be
needed for your system. There are special tools for digging the trenches for the drip lines, or
you can do it with an ordinary shovel. After the trenches are dug, it is recommended that
you install the main valve, filter, and pressure regulator first. Next, install of the main PVC
lines and finally the drip lines. Once the system is fully installed, test it for leaks. Don't
cover the system until it is inspected and approved.
Install the Mini-Leachfield System
To create a mini-leachfield, dig a trench along the dripline (the outer edge of the
foliage) and fill it with gravel to within nine inches of the surface. Be sure to cover the
gravel with a landscape filter fabric or similar material before filling the trench with soil. If
soil is able to infiltrate down into the gravel, the mini -leach field will quickly clog and the
water will be forced to the surface.
ib
6. System Inspection and Approval
Once all the plumbing is connected, the tank in place, and the irrigation system in
the ground (but uncovered), arrange to have a building inspector come out for the final
inspection and approval. The inspector will be checking that the surge tank remains water-
tight as the tank is filled with water; that all the lines remain watertight during a pressure
test; and that the other measures listed on the Graywater Measures Checklist in the appen-
dix meet the Graywater Standards.
7, Using, Monitoring and Maintaining the System
Protect Health
If a member of a household is ill, graywater may carry infectious bacteria or viruses.
However, in order for the graywater to make another person ill it would be necessary for
that person to drink or otherwise consume the contaminated graywater. As long as a per-
son does not drink the graywater or irrigate vegetables with graywater and then eat them
unwashed, graywater is safe.
The Graywater Standards require that graywater not surface and that human
contact with graywater be avoided. Graywater systems designed, installed, and maintained
in accordance with the standards present minimal risk to public health. The California
Department of Health Services participated actively in the development of these standards
to insure the protection of public health.
When graywater is used, always follow these rules :
Don't drink or play in graywater.
Don't mix potable (drinking) water with graywater.
Don't allow anything that may be eaten to come into contact with graywater.
Don't allow graywater to pond on the surface or run off the property.
Select Garden -Friendly Soaps
The chemical and biological
composition of graywater varies greatly,
based on numerous factors, including
the original quality of the water coming
to your home, the personal habits of
the family members, which plumbing
fixtures are connected to the system,
and the soaps used. Since the type of
detergent you select is one major factor
that you can control, the use of garden -
friendly soaps can contribute signifi-
cantly to better quality graywater.

I
tax
alai r
17
Most hand and dish soaps and shampoos will not damage plants at low residential
concentrations. Laundry detergents, on the other hand, need to be selected carefully.
Sodium and boron are chemicals that can have a negative effect on landscapes. Powdered
detergents and soaps include "filler" ingredients (not essential to clothes cleaning) which
are usually some compound of sodium. Liquid soaps contain few fillers, thus less sodium.
A few soaps are now being formulated for use with graywater systems. Cleaners and
laundry soaps you may wish to avoid are:
bleaches or softeners (send graywater to sewer when used)
detergents that advertise whitening, softening and enzymatic powers
detergents with ingredients which include:
boron, borax, or chlorine, or bleach
peroxygen or sodium perborate
petroleum distillate or alkylbenzene
sodium trypochlorite
Often the labeling on detergents is incomplete. The University of Arizona Office of
Arid Lands Studies (with the sponsorship of Tucson Water) tested the composition of many
common detergents for sodium, boron, phosphate, alkalinity, and conductivity. High alka-
linity often indicates a high level of sodium. Conductivity is the measure of all dissolved
salts in the water. The higher the concentration of salts and minerals, the greater the
potential for adverse impacts on the soil and plants. Phosphates are good for plant growth,
but the detergent form may not always be usable by the plants. The Office of Arid Lands
Studies suggests that you select detergents with the lowest levels of alkalinity, conductivity,
boron, and sodium. This information is included in the Appendix.
Generally, once people begin to use graywater, they think more carefully about what
they put down the drain. Some cleaning products are toxic to plants, people and the envi-
ronment and should not be used. Products designed to open clogged drains or clean porce-
lain without scrubbing must be sent to the sewer or replaced with alternative products or
boiling water and elbow grease.
Also, home water softeners often use a solution that contains high levels of sodium
chloride that may have a negative effect on soils. Avoid using softened water as graywater
when possible.
Keep Soils Healthy
Sodium, potassium and calcium are alkaline chemicals. Because of the presence of
these chemicals in laundry detergent, graywater use tends to raise alkalinity of the soil.
Slightly alkaline soils will support many garden plants. Even most acid -soil loving plants
will be happy with slightly alkaline soils that are generously amended with organic matter.
The pH of an acid soil is 6.9 or lower while that of an alkaline soil is 7.1 or higher. If a
simple pH test indicates that the pH reading is over 8.0, the pH should be reduced. This
can be accomplished by adding agricultural sulfur or an acidifying fertilizer such as ammo-
nium sulfate.
Problems with water infiltration may be due to a sodium build up in the soil. Soil

analyzed by a soil lab is the only way to verify excess sodium. Depending upon the severity
of the problem, you can usually correct it by adding agricultural gypsum and/or organic
matter to the soil.
A sandy, well -drained soil will be less affected by the application of graywater than a
poorly drained clay soil. Sometimes graywater may degrade the structure of a clay soil by
making it stickier and less loamy. The soil's physical condition also may be affected by high
sodium. To correct these problems and keep soil healthy, once again, till in organic matter.
The salts that might build up from the use of graywater will only be a problem if
they are not leached away periodically by heavy rains. If winter rains are light. occasionally
leach the soil with fresh water.
Grow Healthy Plants
The application of too much water, of any kind, too frequently will result in satu-
rated soils, and an invitation to plant disease. Generally, plants are healthier when the soil
is allowed to dry out between irrigations.
A very small percentage of plants may be damaged by graywater, most of these are
listed below. Too much sodium or chlorine could result in leaf burn, chiorosis (yellow
leaves), and twig die back. Boron can be toxic to plants at levels only slightly greater than is
required for good plant growth. Symptoms of boron toxicity include leaf tip and margin
burn, leaf cupping. chiorosis, branch die back, premature leaf drop, and reduced growth.
Shade loving and acid loving plants do not like graywater. Their native habitats are
forested areas where acid soils predominate. Here are some plants that are not suitable for
the alkaline conditions often associated with graywater irrigation:
Rhododendrons Begonias
Bleeding Hearts Ferns
Oxalis (Wood Sorrel) Foxgloves
Hydrangeas Gardenias
Azaleas Philodendrons
Violets Camellias
Impatiens Primroses
Other plants that are especially susceptible to high sodium, and chloride which may
be present in graywater are:
CraPe Myrtle
Redwoods
Star Jasmine
Holly
Deodar Cedar
Plants that would probably do well with graywater irrigation are:
Oleander Italian Stone Pine
Bougainvillea Purple Hopseed Bush
Fan & Date Palms Oaks
Rose Arizona Cypress
Rosemary Cottonwood
Agapanthus Olive
Bermuda Grass Ice Plant
Honeysuckle many native plants
Australian Tea Tree Juniper
Monitor and Maintain the System
If you have someone else install your graywater system, the installer will provide an
operation and maintenance manual. That person will recommend such practices as check-
ing the pump, filters, main lines, and other lines to keep your system in top condition.
It is important to check your system on a regular basis, every week or so, to see that
graywater is not surfacing, that the plants and soils are healthy, and that the equipment is
working properly.
The pump is an important part of the graywater system. Read the pump's instruc-
tion guide carefully. Adjust the pump's float switch to turn on as early as possible to avoid
an overflowing tank. Be sure to connect the grounded, three -pronged cord supplied with
the pump to an approved Ground Fault Intercept outlet. The pump runs off standard house
current, so special wiring is not necessary.
A pump should not be run without a check -valve, which is installed between the
pump and the first irrigation point. The check -valve allows water to pass in only one direc-
tion --toward the landscape, and not back into the tank. Without a check -valve, water
draining back into the tank would activate the pump and the pump would run continu-
ously.
The main concern people have with drip irrigation systems is the possible clogging
of the emitters, preventing the flow of water to the plants. With properly selected and
maintained filtration and occasional flushing of the subsurface drip irrigation system, most
problems with emitter clogging can be avoided. If clogging does occur, simple chemical
solutions can be used to clear the emitters.
The 3-way diverter valve (or washing machine "Y" valve) which was installed as part
of the graywater system allows the graywater to be sent back to the sewer/septic line when
rain has saturated the soil. Turning the graywater system off during the rainy season will
help keep the soil healthy because the rain will leach away any soap buildup. The diverter
valve is also employed to send water with caustic cleaners or strong bleaches to the sewer/
septic line.

What Can 1 Irrigate?
Grevwvater can be used to irrigate fruit trees, groundcovers and ornamental trees and shrubs. Salt -
tolerant plants such as oleander, bermuda grass, date palms, and native desert plants are well -suited to
irrigation with greywater. Avoid using greywater on plants that prefer acid conditions, such as:
Ash
Azalea
Begonia
Dicentra
Foxglove
Gardenia
Hibiscus
Impatiens
Philodendron
Primrose
Rhododendron
Hydrangea
Oxalis
Violet
Camellia
Xylosma
Fern
Sandy soils are less vulnerable to damage than clay soils because they drain better. In very low
rainfall areas, apply fresh water occasionally to leach out accumulated salts. Be aware that some harmful
effects are not always visible immediately and may take one or two years to appear. In any case, you
should always pay attention to the health of the plants being irrigated and discontinue using greywater if
signs of stress are observed.
About The Study
All the detergents and related clothes -washing products were purchased in Tucson during May,
19';2. The amounts used were based on the manufacturers' recommended levels for a cool- to warm -
water wash in a top -loading machine. Distilled water was used as a source to minimize the effect of
widely -varying salt and mineral levels in tap water. The list is presented in alphabetical order and is
intended as a basis for comparison only. No endorsement of any product is intended.
This study was based in part on research conducted by the Pima County Extension Service, and
was prepared by the Office of Arid Lands Studies, in cooperation with the Soil, Water and Plant Analysis
Laboratory, University of Arizona, and sponsored by Tucson Water.
For more information...

or Arizona Dept. of Environmental Quality in Tucson at 628-6733
or call 1-800.234-5677, ext. 4667.
on greywater systems or water conservation, call Tucson Water at 791-4331.
This pamphlet is intended for those conservation -minded people who would
like to use washing machine water (greywater) to irrigate their landscapes.
However, the use of greywater and operation of greywater systems are
carefully regulated by the Pima County Department of Environmental
Quality and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. Contact the
Pima County Department of Environmental Quality.at 740-3340 for requirements
and regulations regarding permits for the construction, operation, and maintenance
of greywater systems and use of greywater.
If you plan to use washing machine water to irrigate, you should be aware of
the elements present in this water which may affect your plants or soils. Detergents,aftd
other clothes -washing products use a variety of chemicals to aid in cleansing. Some of
these ingredients can be harmful to your plants. Because labeling on detergent and other
clothes -washing products is often incomplete, a study was conducted to evaluate some
critical product characteristics which may adversely affect the landscape, including
alkalinity, boron, conductivity, sodium, and phosphate.

Alkalinity
Alkalinity refers to the relative amounts of alkaline chemicals in a solution. Sodium, potassium, and
calcium are alkaline chemicals; they often are combined with carbonates, sulfates, or chlorides. Plants do
not tolerate high concentrations of alkali salts.
Boron
Boron is considered a plant micronutrient, required in only very, very small amounts. Most soils
provide adequate amounts of this chemical. Concentrations only slightly higher than those considered
beneficial can cause severe injury or death to Rlants.
Conductivity
Conductivity is a simple measure of the amount of dissolved chemicals in a solution. These
chemicals can he beneficial or harmful. The higher the conductivity, the more dissolved salts and minerals
are present. In general, the higher the concentration of dissolved salts and minerals in the water, the greater
the potential for adverse affects on the environment and plant health.
Sodium
Sodium can act as a plant poison by reducing the plant's ability to take up water from the soil. Too
much sodium can destroy the structure of clay soils, making them slick and greasy by removing air spaces
and thus preventing good drainage. Once a clay soil is damaged by sodium, it can be very lift':' It to restore
it to a viable condition.
Phosphate
Phosphate is a plant food and is added to soil as a fertilizer. Soils in the Tucson area are typically
low in phosphate; thus. there may be some benefit to plants if phosphate is present in greywater. This
should not he relied upon, however, since many forms of phosphate are not readily usable by plants and
soils.
Is Biodegradable Better?
The word biodegradable means that a complex chemical is broken down into simpler components
through biological action. Do not be confused by the word biodegradable, which often is used to.ilalply.
environmentally safe. Harmful chemicals as well as beneficial ones may be biodegradable.
A Note About Chlorine
Although chlorine in bleach and detergents is generally expended in the washing process. some

substitute for similar nutrients. blocking normal metabolic processes. The addition of chlorine to water used
for irrigation should he kept to a minimum .Choose your detergent and clothes -washing products keeping

RE: REWATER SYSTEMS PROPOSAL
Until recently Title 7 of the Municipal Code (Property Conservation and Community
Appearance) contained antiquated language which appeared to prohibit the use of these
types of systems. An amendment was adopted on October 26, 1999 (copy attached)
clarifying that lawfully permitted graywater discharge systems are allowed, as long as
they meet the requirements of Appendix G of the Uniform Plumbing Code.
The Planning Department has no input on the desirability of the Rewater system versus
the products of competing companies. We certainly support the concept of making better
use of our scarce water resources.
Recycled Paper
7.20.050 Discharges of water into ground or into storm drains —prohibited. A.
Except as provided in subsection C, it is unlawful and a misdemeanor for any person to
discharge sewage, graywater or water draining from any swimming pool, sink, washtub or
wash basin, washing machine, or from any other source or liquid receptacle being used as a
cleaning device onto the ground or into a storm drain, gutter, flood channel or any other water
collection system, other than the municipal sewer system or a lawfully permitted septic system.
B. This Section 7.20.050 shall not apply to water run-off from construction sites.
Water run-off and discharge from construction sites shall comply with the requirements
established in Chapter 14.22 (Stormwater Management and Discharge Control).
C. The provisions of this Section 7.20.050 shall not apply to graywater that is
discharged to the ground via a lawfully permitted graywater discharge system that meets the
