The purpose of regulating the design, installation and maintenance of graywater systems is to prevent public and environmental health nuisance conditions caused by improper installations. The program's goals are:
- Ensure that these systems can operate in all weather conditions with minimal maintenance
- Prevent the contamination of groundwater from improperly designed graywater systems
- Prevent the contamination of surface water from improperly designed and operated graywater systems
- Prevent contact with effluent by humans and animals
