I'm going to guess that if you need to spend $18k on equipment to get your water then you probably aren't going to blow through 240 gallons a day.

150 gallons could be quite a lot of fresh water for a small remote village that otherwise lacks a good fresh water source. Useful for drinking and cooking, but not used for bathing or irrigation. I assume the system could be powered by a reasonably sized solar array.

On the other hand, given the cost of this setup it would probably be a lot easier and cheaper to install water filters.
