Help please! I would really appreciate some direction from other contributors to technical publications for grey water system construction in the UK. Buying a property in Devon (hopefully); high water costs for this county translate into adopting water recycling/recovery systems on the property as quickly as possible. As I am rather illiterate about plumbing and associated skills, can anyone please give suggestions?
Many thanks in advance & hello to Art Ludwig!

Hi, Nick...

Permanent Publications in the UK has a stash of our books that would likely be helpful (they have 5th edition create an oasis, not 6th, but the 5th should work for you. Perhaps in their network they could connect you to someone who could help you with permaculture plumbing? The book should do a decent job of guiding you to a system appropriate to your climate, and/or help you evaluate the merit of suggestions from local practitioners.

Good luck!

Art
