In order to prevent the disruption to our state economy due to the potential significant delay or even cancellation of construction or renovation of buildings like Hospitals/Schools/Offices/Retail, in order to not adversely affect individual livelihoods...

[Christoph Lohr, PE @LohrThoughts]

... and in order to promote public health and safety via personal responsibility in lieu of more litigation, I ask that the BTR be continued via a clean 8-year continuation as it has for decades.  Stop playing politics Arizona.

I imagine flushing of water systems like this is because of oversized water pipes causing increased water age. But what if we right-sized the piping systems? Some ways to do that:
1. Existing Tool: Use @IAPMO's #WaterDemandCalculator for residential (single- and multi-family) to more accurately estimate peak flow rates;
2. New concept: separate non-potable water from potable water. Non-potable water systems could serve fire, toilet flushing, irrigation (if it isn't banned) while potable could serve faucets, drinking fountains, etc. By separating the potable and non-potable lines for their given purpose, pipes would further reduce in size and water age with it.Flushing like this (or the need to flushing buildings in general) would likely reduce.
