Sewage Reused 101

Elbert County ShitIf you’re wondering why Elbert County’s “Independence” construction exploded late last fall – it was because “As of October 2018, Colorado has amended Regulation 84, stating it now approves the use of reclaimed water for toilet and urinal flushing.”

So basically you flush it, and that sewage water gets on-site “treated” to a much lesser standard than potable water, then your kids can play in the non-potable water sprinklers, and you can wash your car with non-potable water, and the grandkids will fill the dogs water bowl from the non-potable water tap on every house.

Keep growing Colorado. Pretty soon we’ll be shitting on the streets like they do in California.
