It may be just about acceptable to flush
toilets with rain water provided that it could be suitably filtered and
cleaned up. It certainly isn't for clothes unless it can be properly
cleaned and purified.

All this can be done fairly easily.

So how would a treatment plant with full filtering and chemical treatment
for bacterial removal be implemented at lower cost to the householder than
the current buy price for piped water?

Does water for flushing toilets require all that - "suitably filtered and
cleaned up"?
Is rainwater really that mucky? (and if so, why?)
