If you live near the ocean you are open to 32 streets of human waste trying to find a way into your water supply. A good closed catchment system is preferable as you can control exactly what it going in it. I'd rather shower with catchment water any day as there are no toilets in the sky!
Yup. I cant get my head around waste water never running down hill into the well despite Daniel Diamond saying it is okay. Having seen too many tubes in heavy rains flood and - TP, etc pop up in a yard, I just would not be comfortable. But that's just me. Someone else might have no fear.
Sometimes you just have to take the leap and build your wings on the way down.
