Collective RWH from roofs and paved surfaces. Rainwater is treated to drinking water quality. Overflow to water square and infiltration ponds. Most of the DW is produced locally from RWH. The rest (ca. 10%) is supplied by the centralised DW system. This source is surface water in Germany. GW is locally treated in a vertical aerated helophytefilter. Research will be done to test if it is of good quality to use it as HW for a shared laundry.

BW is separatly collected and digested in a neighbourhood UASB-reactor, nutrient recovery as struvite are currently being developed.FW is added to the BW vacuum sewage after which it is digested in the UASB-reactor. Biogas from the digestor is reused for heating the digestor. Energy is produced using a turbine at a nearby location where pressure reduction is necessary in the centralised system.
