NON-POTABLE WATER REUSE

Non-potable water is water not meant for drinking. However, if treated properly it can be safely used for other purposes such as irrigation, toilet flushing, heating, and cooling. Non-potable water reuse systems collect and treat water from sources like rainwater, stormwater, graywater (water from sinks, showers, or laundry), or wastewater so they can be reused in individual buildings or across multiple buildings for non-potable purposes. Non-potable water reuse is a One Water strategy that can reduce reliance on the drinking water supply and allow sites to manage water resources more sustainably and resiliently.
