To untie your hands, this document says:
On March 18, 1997, the Building Standards Commission approved the revised California Graywater Standards (attached Appendix G). The most significant change in the standards is that gray water systems can now be used in commercial, industrials, and multifamily projects, as well as single-family residences.

Laura,

Here is the response from the Director of Public Services in Mt View regarding graywater permitting. Is it true what she said about Title 24? If so, our hands are tied, right?

Hello Marn-Yee,

I've got the name of the person for you to speak with, but want to give him a quick heads up.

Here's a comment from Joan directly, which should help:

"As for gray water, yes, it's impossible to get a permit since Title 24 does not allow it. Changes to Title 24 are at least a couple years off as I recall."

More soon!

Steve

Hi Steve,

Who in City Hall should I talk to regarding graywater ordinances, installation and permitting? I understand that the city makes it very difficult to get a permit but I'd like to understand why, what codes are invoked, and what possibilities for improvements are.

Thanks!
