The long-term proposal is expected to carry a $2 billion total price tag, and impose water-use restrictions on Angelenos.

Oh, horse puckey. KNBC has reported about unsafe lead levels found in drinking fountains of schools across the Los Angeles area. Lead and children have been buzzwords for decades and they're still unable to eradicate it from drinking fountains of elementary schools. We're supposed to believe they can safely reclaim sewage water? Not to MENTION the boondoggle of costs and bureaucracy.

Geet ready to drink recycled water LA because you have no other choice.
