Colorado Water
Here's an article about recycled water from today's Denver Post [April 8, 2004, "Wanted water won't be wasted"]. From the article, "Denver will save enough water to supply 35,000 households by tapping the toilet to irrigate parks, schoolyards, power plants and the zoo with a new $75 million wastewater recycling plant. After Mayor John Hickenlooper cuts the ribbon on the plant near Commerce City on April 15, millions of gallons of recycled wastewater will course through 18 miles of pipe webbed across the city. Denver will join dozens of cities from South Florida to Southern California, including 12 in Colorado, that are chemically cleaning wastewater to stretch their supply for drinking and washing."
Here's a bit more background.
