(On Madeira we have something similar. After the meter the city water pipe splits. One pipe directly feeds the kitchen, the other a 1000L IBC-tank outside. The returning pipe feeds the 150l water boiler and the bathroom.
The city water replaced the formerly used levada - open irrigation channel coming down from the hills - as water source.) -

Rambling "How I Spent My ${DURATION}" braindump.
Last week I was carrying bags of water softener #salt into my furnace room and noticed a small #limescale deposit on the floor in the middle of the room that hadn't been there a few days before. Directly above it are a bunch of water #pipes going off in different directions. Found one 90 degree elbow that had more than the usual accumulation of green stuff on it, like a tiny #stalactite. Okay, water #leak found.
I was going to wait for the weekend to fix it, but it seemed to be speeding up, so I did it Wednesday. I had to cut a chunk of #convoluted pipe out of the system that was way more complex than it should have been. It had to go around other #pipes and join another #pipe and around some joists, but the #plumber who put this in 40 years ago had a #fetish or something. No word of a lie, it reminded me more of the Windows NT "pipes" #screensaver than anything else.
In a volume about the size of a 2L bottle of pop, there were 4 #elbows, 3 #unions, and five little pieces of pipe if I remember correctly. I soldered together a matching jumble of parts ... and then couldn't solder one side of it in, because it's at a local low point, and I couldn't get the last dribbles of #water to stop. Any water wicks the heat away and the #solder doesn't stick.
Ended up using a #flex line with #sharkbite connectors to replace the whole thing. What a shame, I was proud of my replacement.

UBC launches world’s first mushroom-powered waterless toilet
#UBC #researchers are launching the world’s first #mushroom-powered #waterless #toilet, the #MycoToilet, at the UBC #Botanical #Garden on September 26.
The prototype turns human waste into nutrient-rich #compost using #mycelia—the root networks of mushrooms—and features a modern, #sustainable design that can be dropped into parks, remote communities and areas without #plumbing.
