> Another crazy point - apparently for liability reasons, recycled water that’s not potable quality (meaning just fine for watering, but you shouldn’t drink it or use in a pool) cannot be delivered to consumers.

If you mean delivered by pipe into the home, that's harder since there's only one water main so it'd be a major project.

But at least in my California town, there is a distribution site where I can go pick up gray water for irrigation for free.

We have that too, but to water our trees that would mean I need a truck and at least a 250 gallon tank. Hardly an efficient or green solution since I’d be burning quite a bit of fuel to do this.
