Grey water?
Well if you're hooked up to city water the grey water goes back into the sewer system. If it's not raining then rain barrels are besides the point. The soil is largely hydraulic clay so if you want to sink your own well you can count on that being fairly expensive. Not as expensive as blasting but still about 300ft is the norm.
Also, in the SE you have to appreciate some of the oddest water use laws in the country. Water that's running over ground you're generally not allowed to redirect or disturb. So when it does rain, and your property floods, well it sucks to be you.
