To all those who can't see a problem, how about 3 of us turn up on your driveway and dump our grey water! What would you think then.
Gday...
I would have thought that 99% of those who have contributed to this thread indeed have seen the problem and agree that it was "if not disgusting, at least anti-social, thoughtless and inconsiderate."
However, it needs to be looked at pragmatically.
To discharge grey water in my (or anyone's driveway - private residence, business residence, van park etc etc) has absolutely no bearing on this discussion.
I said earlier - "This highway roadhouse will not only have an extensive drainage system installed underground, discharging to approved drainage pipes, but will have the facility to capture and direct liquid, spills or otherwise to its surface, to the drainage grates/holes provided throughout the hard-seal. Indeed, this drainage system will cope daily with far worse things than 'grey water'." A considerable difference to what anyone's driveway could cope with ... unless they live in an industrial site/area.
Again, it is incumbent upon all of us to make sure each of us minimises how 'disgusting' we are in ANY way to our environment.
cheers - stay well and safe travels - John

Grey water
noun
TECHNICAL
noun: greywater
* The relatively clean waste water from baths, sinks, washing machines, and other kitchen appliances.
MY TWO CENTS WORTH! Call me basic but, bush camping mostly and travelling on the road for over 28,000 km around OZ this term 'Grey Water' has always baffled me . But I legally carry a plastic jerry can with me at all time to abide by regulations.
It is only common sense really, utilise a plastic washing up dish (instead of my van sink) that minimises water usage and taking sponge baths in a plastic bucket at night to freshen up, minimising grey water usage.
Every three of four days
I head into civilization- a caravan park, to shower, shampoo and do the laundry and into the local IGA'S or Coles or Woolies to restock.
That is how simple life can be really!!! Have a great day! Gwynnie

I bet these people that discharged the grey water all had generators and complained about the prices charged by caravan parks.

........and probably a 10amp>15amp cheater lead, were insistent WDH devotees and whinged coz their 12W solar panel wouldn't charge their 250Ah.

I thought the subject of this topic was "grey water", how the mind wonders.

I must have missed all this discussion when I was away, but glad I picked up on it for Mike's sheer Gold sentence above. Absolute classic.
As for the 3 stooges at the start that caused this mess, some people are just inconsiderate about where they release their stench, not bothering to care about what or who they affect.
