Connecticut Public Health Code regulates graywater systems and reclaimed water use citywide, requiring Department of Public Health approval before any non-potable reuse plumbing is installed in Hartford properties.
Connecticut General Statute Title 19a and Public Health Code Section 19-13-B103 govern alternative water systems. Graywater reuse from showers and laundry for subsurface irrigation requires a permit from the local director of health and CT DPH. Rainwater harvesting for outdoor irrigation is permitted without a state permit but cisterns must avoid cross-connection with potable supply. The MDC Backflow Prevention Program inspects commercial properties using non-potable systems. Hartford has limited reclaimed water infrastructure but the MDC Hartford Water Pollution Control Facility produces Class B effluent suitable for industrial reuse research projects.
Unpermitted graywater systems must be disconnected within 30 days of notice from the Hartford Director of Health, with civil penalties up to $250 per day under CT Public Health Code.
