Dumping grey water

[thehippie]

Is there no problem dumping grey water on the ground in campgrounds?


My grey water doesn't have food particles or grease. It's only hand soap, or dishwashing soap.

Not good for the environment and for any groundwater that maybe a source of water supply for cg or local town.

It's not allowed in any campgrounds I've ever been in and is illegal in most locations. Even though it's not real "dirty" it does have particles of fecal matter and food from washing dishes, showers and such. As a result, it will attract various kinds of wildlife and that can be a serious problem in some locations. Think lions and tigers and bears oh my!

Plus, if everyone did it we would be talking tens of thousands of gallons of gray water at a camp site every year.

I know it's illegal in some states.
