Welcome

If you are concerned about water conservation than please take the time to consider my proposal. It will save water for the environment, for agriculture and city use in the long and short run. Most of all, the low flow toilets and those toilets that have an alternative flush, for one use or the other, can not conserve enough water to help us meet our future needs.

In Los Angeles the city stores recycled water underground where it is mixing with fresh water that has always naturally filled the groundwater supply in Southern California. That stored water, which is one part fresh and another part reclaimed, can find its way to your cooking, drinking and showering water someday.
Considering the current wasteful habits of our cities regarding water, low flow toilets are great for saving water but normally these toilets are flushed more than one time. If the 1.6 gallons of water that a low flow uses is flushed 2 to 3 times, the gallons begin to add up and besides it is still 1.6 gallons of fresh water wasted. Using recycled water means that we can use toilets that flush 3 to 5 gallons of recycled water because fresh water is not wasted. However, neither is the recycled water wasted because the same water is repeatedly cleaned and sent through the system.

The city does use reclaimed or recycled water but that use is very limited. Discharging reclaimed water into the coast or rivers and keeping parks green is a great idea but why discharge all of the reclaimed water? There are additional ways of using reclaimed water to consider. Using reclaimed water for toilets is another one of those ideas which is what is being suggested here.

Thank you for giving me a moment.

Below is an explanation of why I feel we should consider adopting a new approach to water conservation and quickly created an animation to help clarify my point. This system I propose can save water and create jobs and revenue for the state and the private sector.

Wastewater Treatment In The Bay Area

Here is a video I found on YouTube that explains how cities reclaim water and what they do with that reclaimed water. Discharging the water into the coast is a good idea but why can't we use a portion of that reclaimed water for our toilets?
