However, in the context of this publication, grey water is defined as water that was previously supplied by a water undertaker as 'wholesome water, but which has already been used in washbasins, baths or showers. Wholesome water is defined as water supplied by a Water Supplier and complying with the requirements of Regulations made under Section 67 of the Water Industry Act 1991.
This publication covers the main end uses intended: toilet flushing, garden watering, car washing and laundry. These uses typically account for 40 - 60% of total consumption in UK buildings.
