本文研究了居住在四个不同地点的80人的经验和看法，这些地点以再生水系统为特色，与住宅水回用应用的好处和成本有关。在佛罗里达州，再生水被居民用于非饮用水用途，主要用于花园灌溉，在澳大利亚用于灌溉和冲厕所。所有受访者都重视再生水，尽管节水的好处已经确定，但他们更热衷于使用这种更便宜的饮用水替代品所涉及的个人成本效益。许多人愿意处理这些水，但这种增加的暴露在多大程度上被视为一个好的发展，取决于向用户提供的信息的质量。在回收水冲厕方面，有明显的迹象显示，与初期成本和增加的交叉接驳风险相比，节约用水和节省成本的效益微乎其微。
The experience and perceptions of 80 people residing in four separate sites, which feature reclaimed water systems, are considered in this paper in relation to the benefits and costs of residential water reuse applications. Reclaimed water is used for non-potable applications by residents in Florida mainly for garden irrigation and in Australia for both irrigation and toilet flushing. All respondents value reclaimed water and although the benefit of water conservation is identified they are more enthusiastic about the personal cost benefit involved in using this cheaper alternative to potable water. Many are willing to handle the water but the extent to which this increased exposure is seen as a good development depends on the quality of information provided to users. In relation to reclaimed water for toilet flushing, there is a strong indication that the water conservation and cost saving benefit is small compared to the initial cost and the increased cross connection risk.
