In order to save water and reduce the cost of water in public areas, we studied the feasibility of recycling bath wastewater by a membrane bioreactor (MBR) at a college campus scale. The results showed that the treatment of bath wastewater by the MBR could achieve a chemical oxygen demand (COD) 3–N concentration of 3 or 0.25 USD/m3, which is below the price of tap water. The results demonstrated both the economic benefit and the conservation of natural resources.
