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 for more information.
