now i LOVE the idea of a grey water system. i think we should be looking into doing that here, personally; water scarcity will only get worse over time through population growth and global warming. i also do quite like infrastructure in general, so i find it fascinating from that aspect. BUT i would NOT want to be in a strata, on the hooks for the costs of 2 pressurized pipe systems built by a developer getting all their parts in china, and cutting corners on the labour... see what happened with Vancouver House.

Yeah, I was just thinking of the duplication and the various recent instances of leaks - Vancouver House, Charleson, etc.
It makes sense from an environmental perspective, just a question of the headaches and costs that could result.
