--but it isn't strictly or necessarily true that all that water is wasted. 
Some people have even been known to get in the habit of collecting the 
not-yet-hot water from the bathroom sink in a pitcher with which to then 
flush the toilet.

... Or for watering the houseplants, or for using it in the dog's water 
bowl, or for boiling spagetti in..... the uses are endless. Pre-Metlund, I 
kept a few gallon jugs on hand by hot water outlets to collect the water 
until the hot stuff hit the tap.

When I used to give water conservation workshops I'd suggest spending just 
one day getting water for domestic uses from an outside hose bib only and 
carrying it inside to use. It's amazing how many little water saving tricks 
one can come up with when we take away all the modern conveniences.
