A reduction in overall water demand and consumption can be achieved by adopting water conservation strategies for indoor and outdoor uses within the development. For indoor water use, the most effective approach is through the specification of efficient sanitary fixtures, for example: dual flush toilets and low flow fixtures incorporating aerators and timers. In addition, the specification of water efficient appliances can further reduce water demand and consumption. Reuse of water from on—site sources can further reduce the demand for fresh water. An onsite alternative water source is water sourced, collected, treated, stored, and utilized as recycled water.
