That was "grizzled" old man, and here is the sound of horse being beaten:

John Bange  was kind enough to send me this link:

http://www.title-3.com/GrayWater.htm

Which says, in part, "Yes, most states consider the water that drains
from our sinks as sewage.  As an example, in Florida, gray water is
considered water from handwashing sinks, tubs and showers.  Kitchen sink
waste is considered to be blackwater, due to it's high concentration of
solids.  While we as pop-up campers may not think of it that way, most
states do have laws which control where and how used water is stored,
transported and disposed of."
