Re: [A/S] Politically Correct
The gray water tank and the kitchen and bathroom traps all breed and harbor salmonella
and e. coli bacteria which could potentially cause serious harm to a person, animal or
fish coming into contact with them. Over 30 years ago, camping in an old VW van I used
to drain my gray water into the woods, until I read about the danger in this practice
and got a blueboy to hold it, instead. I guess if one were careful to avoid being near
any streams or lakes and dug a deep enough hole you could safely drain the gray water
into the ground and then fill the hole when done. Black or gray it is still unsanitary
and could cause illness or worse.
