Water & Sewage

Drinking Water:
Recognizing that Florida expects to double in population in the next five years and that drinking water is becoming more expensive to supply, the following is recommended:
	Homes:
		Cisterns collecting rainwater, filtered and treated. Clusters would have wells as back-up and to supply water under pressure needs. These faucets would be painted blue.
	Larger Buildings:
		Wells that might be monitored by computer (SCADA system) and safety person.
Grey Water:
Water from all sources except toilets would be collected and used for irrigation of edible plants. These faucets would be painted with red stripes.
Sewage:
Homes: Composting toilets maintained by the Village sanitation dept. Use of Composting toilets or sawdust toilets would reduce the need for 50% of the average domestic water demand. They would also negate the need for the use of fertilizer in the gardens by using a two year composting method. Larger Buildings: Septic Tanks Campground: Septic Tanks Back to Infrastructure Menu
