I don't know about that. Ever hear of a "gray water" drain?  My daughter has 
a relatively new house that has 2 drain systems.  One is for "gray water" 
(just about anything other than toilets or garbage disposals) and one for 
"black water".  In her case the black water is dumped into a septic tank 
while the gray water can be routed to irrigation needs or a dry well. She 
happens to have very sandy soil.

FWIW
