RE: Potable Drinking Water & Wastewater

["Illig, Richard" <rillig@state.pa.us>]

	Every house should have a roof-mounted method for collecting rain
water.  It could be collected in an attic tank, plumbed to toilets, or an
outside faucet for lawn/garden/car washing, and wouldn't even require
electricity.  Even a small 250 gallon heating fuel-type tank, once filled,
would deliver quite a few flushes at 1.5gpf.

The Japanese have a wonderful invention that drains the graywater from
handwashing (after using the toilet) at the tap/sink on top of the tank into
the tank to be used for flushing. It's a start anyway!  Sandy Rock
