Abstract
Population growth requires increases in supporting infrastructure and nowhere is this more important than in the provision of water supplies to support new residential development. The use of greywater (GW) systems in residential applications provides promise for more efficient use of existing water supply systems while new sources are brought online. In addition, GW system use provides benefits to water, sewer, and electrical infrastructure which culminate in reduced CO2 emissions. A case study of these potential impacts was performed using environmental life cycle assessment and found significant reductions in CO2 emissions and water consumption resulting from decreased electrical use for treating both potable and wastewater in two Northern Colorado cities.
