If you want to look at the extreme to water conservation. We could all go in groups to pee and flush once..
No. I don't think that is a good idea either.
But always keep in mind...
 There is NO pee in Lake Sumter.
Gracie's wisdom of the day, before coffee. |
A village neighbor told us this and we think it is great. we have a nice clean plastic two gallon pail in the walkin shower. when the shower goes on all the cold water in the HW line goes in the pail. set the pail aside and use it to water plants both inside and outside. no waste.
regarding code. grace is right (as usual) but there is nothing wrong with going beyond code i.e. i really wish they would insulate the garage cielings during construction. what's another 1000 sq ft while they blowing it in? not that much, just add it on to sale price. this reduces garage temps which reduces the heat on one large interior wall and the AC airhandler, return air plenum and ductwork all in the garage, it also helps lower your attic temps which will reduce the heat on all your supply and return ductwork thus saving on electrical cost while reducing equipment run time which increases equipment life span.
