A Tale of Two Communities - Adopting and Paying for an In-Home Non-Potable Water Reuse System in Rural ÐÓ°Épro
Several rural communities in ÐÓ°Épro lack piped water and sewer services leading to residents self-hauling drinking water and manually disposing of waste. A published by the team looks at the results of a survey conducted in two ÐÓ°Épro communities to evaluate perceptions of water reuse and the willingness to pay for an in-home water reuse system and to identify possible price points they are willing to accept.
This study reports on results from community meetings and surveys held in two unserved rural ÐÓ°Épro communities. Overall, this work highlights the importance of community input and engagement as well as assessment of community needs and readiness while developing technological solutions for rural communities in ÐÓ°Épro and beyond.
