Today the Austin Statesman, the local newspaper for Austin, Texas, published a front page article about the debate around gray water collection in the area. They interviewed Nicholas for the article because of his experience installing rain water collection tanks throughout Austin. Equitable Green Group is a big promoter of gray water; the wastewater generated from domestic activities such as laundry, dishwashing, and
bathing, can be recycled on-site for uses such as landscape
irrigation and constructed wetlands.
From the article:
"'The city doesn't have a realistic view of health risks versus the
benefits of the system,' said green builder Nicholas Blaise Koch, who
has been trying to shepherd a client's gray water proposal through the
city for more than a year."
