The gray water
system uses a subsurface constructed wetland to filter and clean water.
The gray water comes from the "compost tea" from the composting
toilets and from the sinks in the building. Rainwater is collected
in a cistern and used for irrigation in the summer. See http://www.greenbuildingsbc.com
