Recycle Water, Shower Them On Lawns
In New Jersey, the retirement villages of Homestead actually have a large sprawling of grass and other shrubs. And interestingly, these actually get the nourishment from recycled water. To be exact, recycled toilet water. You got that right. Toilet water.
The president of the area’s homeowners association, Joe Lawrence, actually have mentioned that before they used recycled water, they used water from the pond. However, they did experience times when the pond would dry up. But by using recycled toilet water, they could keep their greens even greener for each day, there would be around 140,000 gallons at the very least that are flushed.
Sure, the water would still have to go through a cleansing process. It would be quite yucky if the retirement villages would be using still dirty flushed toilet water. But no need to worry much. Not all of the water would be from toilets. There would also be those that would be taken from the shower and from sink drains.
