Gee, if life is that tough for you you'd better sell that place and move.

I'm considering having contractors replace some carpet and vinyl

shower.
I heard they have to use a lot of water to install and cut the tiles.
The
contaminated water is not allowed to be poured into the drains or
sewers
here, so what are the tile contractors supposed to do with all that
water?


Our tile contractor kept the wet saw on the lawn. I would not describe
the amount of water as a "lot". I don't recall any residue on the lawn
either, though I might have hosed the area when they finished. Wet
saws
cut fairly fast, and the amount of water is only onto the blade - very
little water, IMO.

What would be harmful in tile dust, unless it was some exotic thing with
fancy glazes? I mean, we eat off of stuff that isn't that different
from
tile.

We don't "eat" tile and we don't eat the Teflon on the frying pans. I'm
not
sure how "toxic" it is, but it clogs drains and may kill fish in the
creeks
the street drains run to.
Nothing is supposed to be "dumped" into the street drains here.
I had a previous house where the tile person worked on the back yard, then
the neighbor complained because the tile dust ran into their yard and made
a
mess in their landscaping when the sprinklers came on or it rained.
