    155: Colorado Springs Bans Graywater
    2026/07/23
    Our city banned graywater at a time when water is our limiting factor, and this year it’s impossible to ignore. What is graywater? It is the gently used water from laundry, bathroom sinks, and showers that can be reused to nourish landscapes instead of being sent straight to the sewer.Host Ally Richardson and Joe Petsche explore what it means to live in step with nature’s boundaries and why Colorado Springs must adopt smarter, regenerative water strategies now. They also dive into how graywater can cut costs, ease infrastructure strain, and build a resilient future for our region. Join the movement for a water wise city by signing the petition! Visit peacheswater.com Mentioned In This Episode:Colorado passed graywater legislation in 2015, allowing jurisdictions to adopt or opt out. CDPHE Reg. 86 - Graywater ControlSince January 1, 2026, Colorado Springs residents are banned from reusing their own laundry and shower water on their plants.

Without it there is no life. It reincarnates for all to see and science tells us it came to Earth from outer space.
