watercatwn6535nd,
That subject has been brought up before somewhere in this forum. But It's not just funding, it's practicability in my situation. First I have no room for a water collection system, much less for a water storage system that can hold over 1000 gallons underground where I can control pathogens (it cant be above ground in 120 degree heat, even If my neighbors somehow wouldn't complain about a water tower/tank). My water bill will only increase by about $30-$40 a month (including the added sewer bill) at most. Not to mention our water vapor (relative humidity) is usually less than 10% most of the year, unless it's monsoon season or just rained. So I would never be able to collect the amount of water needed monthly. I would need to be able to collect 30 to 60 gallons a day, and have a place to put it until I used it. Bottom line the money needed to build such a system would would blow away the $30 to $40 a month extra water bill, even if I had somewhere to put it.
