RWH in some appartment blocks for HW purposes (toilet flushing). Rest of rainwater is discharged into surface water bodies.	DW is produced in a centralised treatment facility using ground water and distributed to the neighbourhood.	GW is separatly collected, heat is recovered, and locally treated with ultra filtration to HW quality. DW utility Farys will upgrade this using RO to process water standards at the factory.

BW is separatly collected and digested in a neighbourhood UASB-reactor. Struvite precipitation is implemented.	A central food waste point is connected to the BW UASB-reactor process.	Heat is recovered from grey water and in the nearby factory (cooling). The biogas from the reactor is burned. All this heat is used for district heating. Solar panels with batteries provide electricity for installations.
