This is the best summary I could come up with:


Specifically, the committee was looking at grey water, which generally comes from household sources like laundry, showers and kitchens that haven't been in contact with fecal matter.

Dorea, the UVIc wastewater engineer, points out that modern waterworks systems were set up for good reason: they keep us safe from waterborne diseases.

Rather than send wastewater back into the ocean, some of those places are treating it and recycling it, creating a closed-loop system or, in the case of Israel, using it for irrigation.

John Bell, the company's co-founder and chief commercial officer, says the reuse industry is an emerging market that is gaining traction in certain parts of the world.

The company currently has its systems set up in about 150 households across North America and is hoping to see that number rise as regulations and incentives continue to grow.

In Florida, officials have implemented tax credits and other financial incentives to encourage builders to install these types of systems in homes.
