Not only does the left want you to eat bugs over a steak dinner, they also want you to wash it down with toilet water — all in the name of saving the planet, of course.
California regulators approved new rules on Tuesday allowing water agencies to “recycle wastewater and put it right back into the pipes that carry drinking water to homes, schools and businesses,” the Associated Press reported.

In theory yes, but i actuality, it's not the same water. Once the hydrogen and oxygen bonds break and reform with other hydrogen and oxygen atoms, the new molecules are different.
California is just catching up to Chicago where sewage is dumped into Lake Michigan. Lake Michigan is also the source of their drinking water.

Would you explain where this happens in the natural water cycle? How are the ‘new’ water molecules different?

“ California is just catching up to Chicago where sewage is dumped into Lake Michigan.”
Actually that treated waste water goes into the Chicago River and then on to the Mississippi where it eventually ends up in Budweiser beer.

"I like mine, with a twist!"
Per the article you posted that is an extremely rare occurrence. The vast majority of the time Chicago’s waste water is treated before being released to flow downstream to the Mississippi.
It’s why the Chicago River flows out of, not into, Lake Michigan.

Not answering my question. Where do the Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms split and recombine, as you claimed they do?
San Fagsicko has a depraved fascination with playing in excrement, should go over great there.
What is the source for Evian water?
I never understood bottled water until I lived in Texas. Good lord that water was nasty.
It’s amusing to read posts that try to explain this away. It’s all recycled water anyways, it’s been poop water forever, blah blah blah.....
I figure these are mostly Californians trying to feel better about taking a shower in how shall we say....a much more direct crap pee toilet water route to your shower and having to trust some California filtration system over Nature’s ....uh...no thanks. No thank you.....
The longer it takes and the more distance it has to travel and change, from the toilet to the sewer to a drain, from there to there finally to the ocean to evaportion to rain...etc etc.....the better. No thanks on the direct approach.....toilet to California flunkie to me.....LOL....no thank u.
**Good lord that water was nasty.**
I lived on 6 farms in IL in just over 60 years. All had over 400’ deep wells, and all had water with sulfur odor. The taste varied, but wasn’t as noticable as the smell.
Sewage water has been treated, filtered and turned into usable water for decades in many cities.
Yes
on the southeast coast, cities take water upriver from slow moving rivers, treat it, consume it, eliminate it, treat it again and discharge it down river; cities downriver rinse and repeat until river is finally discharged into the atlantic ocean ...
i had a buddy who lived in the Piedmont who was in the wholesale tropical fish business with hundreds of fish tanks in his warehouse and had to become an expert in water purity and waster removal ... he said he was shocked when a water analysis he had done of the tap water he started with was nothing but recycled sewage ...
lesson here is install a 6 or 7 stage undersink RO system for your drinking and cooking water ...
According to the Boltzmann distribution the proportion of water molecules that have sufficient energy, due to thermal population, is given by
N / N0 = e (− ΔE‡) / (kT)
where k is the Boltzmann constant.
Random fluctuations in molecular motions produce an electric field strong enough to break an oxygen–hydrogen bond, resulting in a hydroxide (OH−) and hydronium ion (H3O+); the hydrogen nucleus of the hydronium ion travels along water molecules by the Grotthuss mechanism and a change in the hydrogen bond network in the solvent isolates the two ions, which are stabilized by solvation. Within 1 picosecond, a second reorganization of the hydrogen bond network allows rapid proton transfer down the electric potential difference and subsequent recombination of the ions.
Add energy from the sun or from electrical buildup in clouds, the ground, and plants, and water becomes ionized and de-ionized regularly, breaking the bonds and then reconstituting them.
Theoretically, all water has been around forever, but in reality it's not the same water.
