Our community makes reclaimed water (treated sewer water) available for irrigation. Can that water be used to flush toilets in our building?
• This is a great idea that should be more common than it is – and depends on the regulations in your community. We can review that option in our Scoping Phase. Reclaimed water often has issues with odor that may be unacceptable for toilet use; a filtering step can be applied to eliminate any remaining odors or colors in the reclaimed water. Local ordinances in your area may regulate the use of reclaimed water to flush toilets.
