Etienne, The studio uses so much less water now than it did when I first
moved in. I was doing quite a bit of silver gelatin printing and with that
changing over to inkjet, the total amount of water went way down. Even
though it has a full kitchen, bath, etc I only really use it for photography
so it is way down on their water worries.

Your landlord must love you!  RO systems use 10-20x more water than 
you draw, sending it unused down the drain.  There have been efforts 
to prohibit them in states that are regularly subject to water 
shortages, like California.
