Because that would require an extra separate system just for toilets and it’s still water going into houses, even if it is for toilets. Being completely untreated could poddibly be dangerous considering it’s water going into homes. Imagine toilet water having dangerous bacteria and then you drop a log in there and the splash gives your bum a little kiss and then you have a colon infection which is not nice at all.
