So a system was brought in that basically had cold water running through a device like a car heater core. And that water once used was then discarded. It was probably very clean and could have been used for toilets as an example, but instead went into the sewer system.

When I think about how many businesses do the same thing, it makes me really wonder if doing some rationing will really have an impact; it's like me deciding not to litter while standing at the city dump.
