Commercial buildings can reuse greywater or captured rainwater for flushing, irrigation, and cooling, cutting both the water bill and the environmental footprint. The plumbing keeps the reused water strictly separate from drinking water.
The sources
Greywater from sinks and showers and rainwater from the roof are the usual sources, each with its own collection and treatment needs.
The uses
Toilet flushing, irrigation, and cooling tower makeup are the best matches because they do not need potable water.
The separation
Reused water runs in dedicated, clearly marked pipes with no cross-connection to the potable supply, and backflow protection is essential.
The code
In DeSoto, local rules set what can be reused and how it must be treated, so the design starts with the code.
The signage
Reused water lines must be clearly marked so nobody accidentally connects them to the drinking supply. Signage is a code requirement, not a courtesy.
