NC Plumbing Code

In Appendix C, Section C101.1 allows for recycled gray water to be

used for flushing of toilets that are located in the same building as the gray water recycling systems. These recycling

systems can also be used for irrigation purposes when approved by the authority having jurisdiction. Appendix C includes

information regarding the installation, filtration, disinfection, drainage and identification of gray water recycling systems.
Gray water used in a gray water recycling system must be filtered and disinfected before it can be recycled for

flushing of toilets or irrigation as stated in Appendix C.
North Carolina has stringent greywater

regulations and only allows reuse of water if it is treated to the same standards that are required

for treating sewage water (Sheikh 2010).
