HB 259
, to allow Gray Water systems in Montana, has passed out of House Natural Resources 16-0. Amendments include expanding definitions of gray water to include collection, storage, and use, direction to where the legislation would be codified, and a look at systems that may already exist. The bill will be heard on the floor sometime early in the week of Feb 4 to Feb 10.
Click here to see the new page for our fact sheet that shows some basic examples of how gray water systems work (also not our first fact sheet in an earlier post). HB 259 enables a safe method of water conservation that is currently prohibited, but crosses party lines and is very likely to pass the House. If passed, it will be the rule making process provided for in the bill that will set the base standards to ensure safe and proper use of gray water in Montana. As with septic systems, county health officials follow these rules and add stronger rules to address local concerns.
