I had a farm and I used to plumb all my gray water to the 2 acre vegetable garden field. Laundry, showers, kitchen, all went to irrigation. It worked splendidly.

Then I had to upgrade my septic tank due to county laws enacted.....Permits had to be issued. Inspectors had to inspect. I was fined bigly. I had to go to court. I had to pay a plumber to re-do all the gray water drains into the septic tank. They then needed a half acre to put the elevated drainage mound. They took it from my vegetable garden. I couldn't grow my vegetables there anymore because raw sewage was now plumbed in.

Fast forward to today, and college professors get grants to drain household gray water into water conservation projects, like irrigation.

I really can't take anymore of this insanity!!??!!
