:hmm:
 
It's good enough for NASA. Truth is we do have a limited supply of fresh water, and we do waste a lot of it here in North America. If there's a way to clean it so it's pure, who cares where it came from.

I've seen pictures from Japan where they sink is on top of the toilet tank. So you're flushing with grey water instead of fresh water. Why don't we do that here?

Maybe it's a cultural thing? Do you really think Americans would go for something like this? If our water supply diminished to dangerous levels I guess we wouldn't have a choice. :|

Many municipalities already recycle from sewer back to tap, and have been doing so for decades. Tempest in a Tea... Pot :sneaky:
 
The only thing separating the water you flush and the water you drink is time. Why wait for the water cycle to purify it?
