We have two water systems here, culinary, and a second system we call grey water which is far less expensive. Culinary is available all year of course but the secondary system starts in May and is turned off in Sept. I water my garden with culinary until the secondary system is turned on. I love to drink from the hose. When I start using the less expensive secondary system I have to be careful to restrain myself and not drink from the hose as the secondary water is not purified. That's when I walk in the house and get a bottle out of the frig.

Smart! And it tastes better, too!
