Hi all, and thanks for this wonderful service.  I've found your answers very
useful before. 
My question is about graywater.  I've read quite a lot about all this, and
know Arizona's requirements for graywater systems. I want to set up a
graywater system for the garden of our house, which we bought 2 years ago.
However, neither of us is particularly "handy" in doing this sort of thing.
Doing it ourselves is not an option. Indeed, legally, a plumber must do the
retrofitting of the pipes, I believe.  Anyway, we're having a landscape
architect do a plan for our yard so we can have everything coordinated and
planned, then do it bit by bit as we can afford it.  I talked to him about
setting up a graywater system, and he knew about them, but obviously had not
been actively involved in planning anything like that.  I couldn't believe
that graywater systems in residential properties were that scarce.  I looked
up on the internet and can't find anyone advertising locally that they do
this sort of thing.  I'm not sure where to turn next.  Any suggestions?  I
imagine you can'!
 t endorse certain companies, which I understand.  I know Tucson has more
people doing this sort of thing than here.  I saw the watercasa.org website.

Also, I'm not looking for an expensive system, just a simple, practical one
without pumps and large tanks, one in which the day's graywater is saved and
then used within 24 hours, and if not used, then dispensed out the normal
routes.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
Justine
