preface

In August 2012, Jeff Hutcher, a former water teacher and Oakland superintendent, sat with me in a radio studio. We were discussing the role of water in the American public media story. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect that I would be meeting Jeff in 1999. As a student at his water school, I was eager to acquire the practical skills necessary to construct water systems that are environmentally friendly.

The news of the “Frankenstein” water system stunned him at the time, and he declined to respond to any inquiries about the school’s illegal water system. After all, he was a city inspector. He and I collaborate in order to simplify every circumstance and make it easier to utilize water legally.For the past seventeen years, I have been planning and constructing domestic water systems that are very straightforward, including wastewater systems.

 Systems that collect rainwater and composting toilets are both examples. My friend Cleo Woelfle-Erskine, a homemaker, and I once disconnected our water supply to go swimming outside. The thought of this beautiful irrigation water combining with regular water was beyond my comprehension. We explained the process to our friends and documented the reasons behind it. The ‘Grey Water Guerillas’ are the name of our group that arose from these endeavors. 

Later, we contributed to an anthology named Dam Nation: Shipping Water. This collection of essays linked the reusing of wastewater, the collection of rainwater, and the composting of trash to the larger political framework of watershed water on Earth. Several plumbers have joined our group. Christina Bertea, the first woman to join the organization, founded the Local 159 Plumbers and Steamfitters Association.

Andrea Lara served as a coach during that period. Because of their efforts, we were able to increase our knowledge and bring our ideas up to date. In the Bay Area and Southern California, Andrea, Christina, and I have all been instructors for a number of different programs. The demand for our products was so high that we were unable to meet it during the years-long drought in our state. All of the workshops are completely packed, and there is a waiting list. In addition to teaching at secondary schools, I have also taught at university clubs, churches, and green festivals.

Since all of our activities violated the state legislation at the time, we actively worked to change the law. In 2009, the state of California changed its gray water regulations, leading to the legalization of numerous water systems.

During that particular year, we decided to change the name of our organization to “Grey Water Action: For Sustainable Aquaculture” in order to explain our objectives and methods to a different audience.In addition to continuing to offer hands-on seminars, we also continue to teach professionals who are interested in providing these services to their customers. We teach them theoretical concepts and practical skills over the course of a week, and then the lesson is over.
