Despite ever increasing pressure on potable water supplies in the United States, you would wonder why more homes and commercial enterprises aren't using some form of graywater capture in order to capture rainwater and runoff to offset the waste of potable water. Every drop of water coming into a building through the pipes and supplied by a utility has to be of a minimum quality, that is to say it has to fit for human consumption, and yet ninety percent is used for washing, showering, watering gardens and store fronts, cleaning buildings and flushing toilets, not to mention car wash facilities and street cleaning.
Imagine the savings on utility bills if greywater systems collected rain water and runoff and it was stored and transported in separate systems for everything other than drinking; not only would utility bills shrink, but the ever upward trend on pressure of potable water would be seriously halted and ultimately reversed.
Remember, it will get worse before it gets better; start making it better now.
