Dumping Gray Water In Your Campsite

I am staying in a National park for about a week now. Walking around I can see evidence(big puddle under trailer) of people dumping their gray water right in their site on the ground! One guy just leaves his sewer hose hooked up.

Today as I walked past a 40' Toy Hauler the occuapants looking suspicious had their gray tank draining right on the ground. Geeze people make me sick. There is a dump station here but they are too lazy to use it.

Also, if I see it you would think the seasonal staff would see it too but nothing it done.....

    "spoon059"....is the only one with a sensible post. I'm sure the ones complaining the most are the same germaphobes that don't drink from their fresh water tank. Everything scares them!

    When you see a sign that says, freeway watered with reclaimed water....where do you think that comes from. Do you drink it, no, but it's fine for watering plants.

    Many of you back east forget that the west coast is in the worse drought in many years. Many people are recycling their shower and washing machine water to water their lawns.

    We've been using biodegradable soap for years and we don't wash food or grease down our sink. There is nothing wrong with our grey water and it's great for keeping bushes alive in a drought stricken area. Since the water restrictions started, I leave my grey tank full until I get home and then use my SaniCon to water the dry spots in my yard with the grey water.
