No harm, but.

Since it is possible that gray water carries disease, most places don't
allow it. On the BM website, it says that the BLM police will fine you
and you will be ejected if caught doing it.

If this is legal in TX, then good. Seems sensible to me, I'm sure the
plants will be thrilled.

However, mostly it is illegal. And non RVers who might see you doing
that could think it was black tank stuff and call the EPA.

Since the whole point of BM is to leave the playa unchanged by the
festival, you can see why it's a no no.
