Mr. Courtney -

And your remedy is . . . ?

I realize that Moscow tap water is not the most potable in the world.  That
is why I filter my water.  It costs a few bucks to filter, but I am happy
with it.

  Visionaries,

  I would hope that we could all agree and get onboard with changing the
Moscow "gray water" requirements for home use.

  The Moscow restrictions are far greater than those in either California or
Arizona. In fact, back in 1996, California realized that its legislative
requirements on gray water systems were too restrictive.

  Installing a gray water system requires:
    a.. Having the entire holding system underground (like a septic tank).
    b.. Having the entire watering system also underground (running
underground plumbing to each tree/bush).
  Our gray water systems are self-imposed by the City of Moscow. I would
encourage everyone to ask that these overly restrictive laws be replaced
with those similar to California and Arizona.

  Best,
  Dale Courtney
  Moscow, Idaho
