I’m surprised we aren’t really reusing greywater for watering parks, cleaning streets, public (decorative) fountains, etc. Seems like a waste.

Yep. Basically the approach of last resort due to their high cost.

Honestly it’s not the worst idea in a country surrounded by water and baked by the sun. Just build shitloads of solar farms and power it that way. Probably better than sucking some deep aquifers dry.
