Research– Mar 29, 1999 A number of projects demonstrating alternative water-treatment technologies are under way across Canada, including the Far North, Vancouver, Ottawa, and Toronto. The Toronto Healthy House is one of the most ambitious projects to date and includes a rainwater treatment system for potable use, and recycling of all household wastewater for non-potable uses. The research project discussed in this report examines the application potential of water-reuse technology and assesses the Toronto Healthy House technologies in five case study sites in Nova Scotia.The life-cycle costs of these technologies were

The research project discussed in this report examines the application potential of water-reuse technology and assesses the Toronto Healthy House technologies in five case study sites in Nova Scotia.The life-cycle costs of these technologies were
compared with costs of traditional infrastructure:municipal water supply and wastewater collection or wells and on-site sewage disposal systems. http://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/publications/en/rh-pr/tech/99-116.pdf
