SB513

Hawaii SB513 allows smaller farms to use gray water for irrigation.

Hawaii SB513 amends the Hawaii Revised Statutes to allow the Department of Health to authorize counties to implement gray water recycling programs. These programs permit the use of gray water, which includes wastewater from sinks, showers, and laundry, for irrigating lawns, gardens, and farms of less than ten square acres. The bill aims to address water scarcity issues faced by small farmers, enabling them to utilize gray water for agricultural purposes while ensuring compliance with the state plumbing code.
