State Codes Texas | waterrenu
As in introduction to this State Code, we note it is very very long. In our opinion and experience, it is also very confusing and requires multiple reads to come close to the meaning / intention of the code.
As Texas is WaterReNu's home state, we have significant experience across the whole state conforming with the code. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Also, there is a companion code set, related to reduction of an OSSF if diverting graywater year round. We are not listing it here, because if you don't fully understand the in's and out's of the code below, it is pointless reviewing the OSSF code.
SUBCHAPTER F: USE OF GRAYWATER AND ALTERNATIVE ONSITE WATER §§210.81 - 210.85 Effective December 29, 2016
§210.81. Applicability.
(a) This subchapter applies to graywater and alternative onsite water generated and used at a private residence, commercial facility, industrial facility, institution, or agriculture facility regardless of the disposal method for other wastewater.
(b) This subchapter does not apply to reclaimed water which is regulated by Subchapters A - E of this chapter (relating to General Provisions; General Requirements for the Production, Conveyance, and Use of Reclaimed Water; Quality Criteria and Specific Uses for Reclaimed Water; Alternative and Pre-Existing Reclaimed Water Systems; and Special Requirements for Use of Industrial Reclaimed Water).
(c) This subchapter does not regulate the design, construction, or operation of on-site sewage facilities (OSSFs) but instead regulates the design, construction, and operation of alternative water reuse systems, combined reuse systems, and graywater reuse systems that may be located at a site that uses an OSSF. The design, construction, and operation of OSSFs are regulated by Chapter 285 of this title (relating to On-Site Sewage Facilities).
(d) An existing graywater system shall comply with the requirements of this subchapter as they existed on the date installation was completed. The previous version of this subchapter is continued in effect for this purpose.
(e) This subchapter does not authorize the diversion or impoundment of state water, as defined in Chapter 297 of this title (relating to Water Rights, Substantive).
Adopted December 7, 2016 Effective December 29, 2016

§210.84. Industrial, Commercial, or Institutional Use of Graywater and Alternative Onsite Water.
(a) For the purposes of this section, alternative onsite water does not include reverse osmosis reject water, as this source of water is regulated by Subchapter E of this chapter (relating to Special Requirements for Use of Industrial Reclaimed Water).
(b) An authorization from the commission is not required for the use of graywater and alternative onsite water from a graywater reuse system or a combined reuse system at an industrial facility, commercial facility, or institution. Treatment required by this section does not require authorization from the commission.
(c) The graywater and alternative onsite water must be generated and used onsite.
(d) Graywater reuse systems and combined reuse systems are not authorized to overflow onto the ground under any circumstances.
(1) Graywater reuse systems must be designed and constructed so that 100% of the graywater can be diverted to an organized wastewater collection system, on-site sewage facility (OSSF), authorized outfall in a wastewater discharge permit, or authorized disposal area in a Texas Land Application Permit (TLAP). The graywater must be diverted to the organized wastewater collection system, OSSF, authorized outfall in a wastewater discharge permit, or authorized disposal area in a TLAP during periods of non-use of the graywater reuse system or if the system reaches maximum capacity. The graywater must enter the organized wastewater system or OSSF through either one air gap or two backflow valves or backflow preventers.
(2) Combined reuse systems must be designed and constructed so that 100% of the graywater can be diverted to an organized wastewater collection system, OSSF, authorized outfall in a wastewater discharge permit, or authorized disposal area in a TLAP prior to entering the combined reuse system. Graywater must be diverted to the organized wastewater collection system, OSSF, authorized outfall in a wastewater discharge permit, or authorized disposal area in a TLAP during periods of non-use of the system or if the combined reuse system reaches 80% capacity. The graywater must enter the organized wastewater collection system or the OSSF through either one air gap or two backflow valves or backflow preventers.
(3) Combined reuse systems that store stormwater, rainwater, and/or foundation drain water must have an automatic shutoff system to stop the inflow of stormwater, rainwater, and foundation drain water into the combined reuse system. The automatic shutoff system must activate when the combined reuse system reaches 80% capacity.
(e) Water from a graywater reuse system or a combined reuse system may be used onsite for the following activities.
(1) Process water. Water from a graywater reuse system or a combined reuse system that is used for process water must be treated to a standard that allows the water to be used in operational processes.
(2) Landscape maintenance. Water from a graywater reuse system or a combined reuse system that is used for landscape maintenance must meet the following limits.
(A) If the water will be applied in areas with public access, the water must meet the following limits:
(i) Escherichia coli (E. coli), 20 most probable number (MPN) or colony-forming units (CFU) per 100 milliliters (ml), 30-day geometric mean; or

single grab sample.
(B) If the water will be applied in areas with restricted access to the public, the water must meet the following limits:
(i) E. coli, 200 MPN or CFU per 100 ml, 30-day geometric
mean; or
(ii) E. coli (not to exceed), 800 MPN or CFU per 100 ml,
(3) Dust control. Water from a graywater reuse system or a combined reuse system that is used for dust control must meet the E. coli limits in paragraph (2)(B) of this subsection.
