Doesn't Israel (have the tech to) do it for like nothing or extremely nominal cost?

Not nothing or nominal, but cheap enough that it is feasible, and about the same as other options. We also recycle 80% of the water, first in the world. The second-place country does 15%,
Recycle to the point of making it potable again, or recycle for other uses, like agricultural? If the former, that is truly a wonderful achievement. (Even the latter is pretty great, though!)
Even the recycled wastewater is potable, but it is use for agriculture to satisfy people's sensibilities.
