Is there truly 'no burden' in actually converting to a dual water system? If so, why are we not doing it now? (I'm certain if we followed this argument it would eventually end in the Godwin-like Big Oil barrier).
    Where did I say this should be done because flushing with clean water is unsanitary or a health risk? You're arguing with statements that I've never made.
    I'm simply saying is that it's a waste of a pretty valuable resource, and that steps should be made to conserve it. I'm not advocating for a dual water system, that might in fact be the most expensive solution especially if you were to retrofit it to existing buildings.

    EDIT: And you already have laws limiting the amount of water per flush to 1.6 gallons, so how would a similar (and reasonable) mandate be different? But I guess you flush twice just to spite the government.
