Another thing I'm looking into right now is one of those zero waste water kits from BWI plumbing. Can hook into your existing RO unit. I don't completely understand how they work tho.. Something about pumping the waste RO water back into the hot water tank or something. I make more water than my plants can consume :-(

I think my hydro bill is about $100 a month. Water (with sewage and garbage) is about $40 a month. Should be interesting to see how much the hydro jumps with the new tank.

Hydro is $110/month, water is included in the rent and likely not metered.
