In the desert state of New Mexico, conservation of energy and reducing carbon is one thing, but water is a whole other game. Water is never valued as it should be -- Albuquerque charges $1.014 per unit (100 cubic feet).
In our rental house in Albuquerque we were using 162 units of water a month, to maintain an "east coast" garden -- lots of grass, roses, an apple tree. Now we are using about 94 units a month to maintain another rental, with more grass, peach, apricot, and cottonwoods.
1 US gallon = 0.133680556 cubic feet
If we replumb for greywater, and get 65 gallons a day, that's 8.6 cubic feet a day, 262 cubic feet a month, which is 2.6 units a month.
