Onsite sources of water such as air-conditioner
condensate, rainwater, and foundation drain
water are often untapped resources that can help
save significant volumes of potable water and wastewater.
The use of these sources can reduce peak
demand on a utility and the subsequent need for
future water treatment expansion to meet growing
demands. Capital costs are transferred from the
utility to the user.
Public and private interest in alternate on-site sources
is growing, and there is much opportunity for those who
make use of it. However, further development of building
codes and regulatory guidance will be necessary to
protect public health and promote good design. Includes 7 references, tables, figure.
