While salt water might be useful in coastal cities, I think it might be expensive to pipe sea water to say Las Vegas, disposal is also a problem, removal of salt from the wastewater would be terribly expensive, I doubt that Mexico wants that much salt in the Colorado River. We do have a treaty guaranteeing that we give them a certain level of water quality you know. It would be even more ridiculous to consider piping sea water to places like Denver, or Dallas, or Chicago. Delivery of 2 water systems to all homes and businesses in a coastal city like Los Angeles would also be exorbitantly expensive, dual plumbing of homes also make the idea of salt water to flush toilets unpractical. However composting toilets are a possible practical alternative to fresh water flush toilets, and you can use the waste product as fertilizer on your flower bed. r

Maybe an issue with the chemical to disinfect (you mean vacuum right ) ? or no chemical and possibly lots more cleaning.. Low flush water toilets today take multiple flushes often.. :o) In the GTA we pay for our water.. been like that since I moved here.. 27 years ... so we are aware.. I put in underground sprinkler with rain sensor to use garden water more effectively.. saves lots of dough... no more cursing next morning because I fell asleep with sprinkler on :O) did it years ago... BTW Conservation ? we have smart metres here for electricity consumption... guess what.. so many people were diligent and used off peak that the rates are going up a lot more for those on smart metres than those not yet abonné... lower prices at first .. and then raise them and have more dough for the chairmans pension :o(
