Malibu’s Gray Water Use
Ed Begley Jr. explains how his gray water system works to Allen Lyle
By: Gracee Arthur
Actor Ed Begley Jr., an avid environmentalist recently wrote a book entitled, “Ed Begley Jr.’s Guide to Sustainable Living.” Mr. Begley has installed a gray water recycling system in his home. The recycling system filters waste water from showers, bathtubs, sinks, dishwashers and washing machines for use in irrigation of fruit trees and vegetables in his garden. Before it is reused, the water must pass through a series of filters to remove or kill any bacteria and contaminants in the water. Conserving and recycling water is just one of the many tips on Green living offered in his Guide to Sustainable living.
This link will take you a tour of the Gray Water Recycling System recently installed at the Begley home. For more information on this system go to www.reusegraywater.com
The lack of rainfall in California has caused many municipality’s water districts to place penalties on exceeding the limits set for household and business water usage. So, a gray water system not only helps the environment, but the homeowner’s monthly budget as well.
