I always hear that we have a limited amount of fresh water. If I take a shower that is too long, and that water is going into my septic tank and back into the ground, is there any harm besides the energy used in pumping and warming it?
In my instance my house is 100% solar powered and we are on a well and septic- am I “wasting” water by brushing my teeth in the shower?

I’ve always wondered about this too.
I live near Lake Erie. All of our clean water comes from the lake, and all of out waste water (after treatment) goes back to the lake.
So while it might be a waste of energy, my “wasted water” just goes back to the source.
