Has anyone actually looked at the cost of producing re-use water? It certainly isn't free. Looking at my Marco Island Utilities bill, I pay $4.96/1000 gallons for sewer usage. This is the cost of the resource, just like pumping water out of Henderson Creek (North Treatment Plant) or the Floridan Auquifer (South Treatment Plant) The rates for wastewater service need to be adjusted to provide relief to sewer customers who provide this resource.
