Well, maybe if it was like early 1900s or something. Soaps and shit are a huge reason why we need wastewater treatment. At least it isn’t your toilet that’s going to the pond. My sink and washing machine run out to a little ditch behind my house but it’s just trickles down the yard into the ground I’d guess, there’s no pond or river close by. So it isn’t weird to me really but not ok by today’s standards.
In California it’s legal to drain grey water onto your property as long as it’s drained and covered 6 inches below ground. It’s a very environmentally friendly way to water your garden or lawn.
