It's got electrolytes!
Good Lord, and “what could possibly go wrong”
In high skrool, I worked for one of the guys that developed the aireator for aerobic septic systems. One of the ways he sold the product was to take a glass and take a big drink of what was going out to the field lines.
He died riding a motorcycle in his late ‘80’s or early ‘90’s.
When I was born, the US population was one-half what it is today. (Maybe, even less).
Royal Caribbean cruise ships have been using closed water recycling systems for some years. I’m pretty finicky about the water I drink and I drink a lot of it and never had any problems with their water tasting or smelling off on the cruises we’ve taken with them.
Okay.
Las Vegas has been using reclaimed wastewater via Lake Meade for a couple of decades now.
Nothing much new here. That’s pretty much the way it’s always worked anyway in the low-lying southeastern coastal states: cities draw their water upstream from big, broad, slow-moving rivers and then discharge their treated effluent downstream for use by the next downstream city.
I have a friend in one such city who once ran a wholesale tropical fish business with hundreds of fish tanks that used treated water from an industrial treatment system he built. He had his input water from his municipal water tap analyzed and said it was basically just recycled sewerage water.
Even places that you might think would have great water like the Rocky Mountain states often co-mingle pristine mountain runoff with irrigation ditch water containing return water from flood-irrigated fields that is loaded with dissolved herbicide, pesticides and fertilizers.
All of the above is why I used to have bottled water delivered and then 20 years ago switched to a five-stage, under-sink reverse osmosis system for drinking water.
Given the decline in competency across the board, I’m not so sure this is a good idea
These idiots are trying to kill us all. What could go wrong?
Is there a way this water can be piped directly into the state capitol and Kim Jong Brown’s mansion?
There is more than E-Coli in recycled water...There is drug residue, both legal & illegal drugs. Good luck with that, citizens of Calif. Some studies show that as much as 50% of meth ingested in removed from a human body by excretion-—into the sewer systems. Impossible to filter out.
$h!t in, $h!t out!
Moonbeam’s $hithole state.
Sounds terrible, but when you think about it, all the water on the planet has been used and reused, over and over and over again, by every living thing that’s ever existed, for billions of years.
