No John, it was a public meeting I attended that had a speaker talking
on septics and municipal systems a year or two ago. He didn't elaborate
much, just basically mentioned what I posted earlier.
I'll see what I can find and hopefully I can provide more accurate
details.

I have heard of a residence near Rochester someplace that is self
contained. I guess they add water to the system to keep it at an
operating
level, but it recycles the water used for flushing, showering, dishes,
etc.
Within the house it has it's own "digester", but I understand that it
filters the waste water and returns it to the main holding tank where it's
cycled back through again. Incidentally, the drinking water comes from
that
same main holding tank.
This info came from a U of M speaker ( I think), I'm sorry, I can't
remember his name.
This is from my memory, so I would warn you it's probably not entirely
correct.

That sounds like a system I helped design (a minor role: mechanical
components and system diagram drafting ) back in the 70's when I lived in
Colorado. We got it working and installed in some of the company founder's
( Howard "Binx" Selby ) mountain houses.
The business, PureCycle, floundered due to water scarcity never becoming
too
much of a hindrance to building housing developments.
I wrote about this a year or more ago in regards to bluff development.
That's not what you are remembering, is it?
