| | wastewater and greywater | Explanation:
I have this in my notes and will reproduce here:
greywater (sometimes spelled graywater, grey water or gray water and also known as sullage, is *****non-industrial wastewater generated from domestic processes such as washing dishes, laundry and bathing*****. Greywater comprises 50-80% of residential wastewater. Greywater is distinct from blackwater in the amount and composition of its chemical and biological contaminants (from faeces or toxic chemicals). Greywater gets its name from its cloudy appearance and from its status as being neither fresh (white water from groundwater or potable water), nor heavily polluted (blackwater). According to this definition wastewater containing significant food residues or high concentrations of toxic chemicals from household cleaners etc. may be considered "dark grey" or blackwater)
aguas jabonosas is another way of saying aguas grises
Aguas grises

As you can see from the above, greywater is actually a type of wastewater. I suspect that the first time the term "aguas residuales" appears in your text, they mean wastewater, but the second time, I suspect they actually mean to say "aguas negras", which is blackwater. However, it might be best to check with the client.
