The recycling of lightly used wastewater that is not contaminated with bodily
fluids or kitchen grease and scraps. Water that comes from showers, bathroom sinks and washing
machines is often recycled by diverging the water into a separate system from the sewage and is
then redirected towards toilets and is finally discharged into the local sewage system. The
redirection of wastewater helps save freshwater and minimize the amount of water entering water
treatment plants.
