Makes me wonder how much of a "carbon footprint" the manufacture, sale, and use of these "water reclamation" systems have. I'd just about be willing to bet that it is a net loss to the environment when you compare "reclaiming water" vs. letting it go where ever it goes. Most of the time, big diesel trucks pull up to your water reclamation tank, and spew diesel fumes into the air as they pump the water from your tank onto the truck. Then the truck does this same act again, pumping it into the holding tank at the reclamation facility, and it goes on from here. This is "green"? i don't think so. Not to mention all the "carbon footprint" from the actual manufacturing of the tanks and materials used to construct thse "green" devices. The math just doesn't justify the law (which seems very typical of all these "green" things.) A bit of biodegradeable car washing soap is more of a concern? mmmmhmm.
