With some degree of treatment, I trust. Otherwise, it’s going to be pretty darned sludgy. They do this with raw sewage?

WWTP = Waste Water Treatment plant.

Yes, the water is actually can be fit for consumption upon discharge from the plant (depending on the plant). It just sounds revolting.

The wizards in OC actually coined a marketing phrase: "Toilet to tap"

It did not sell well.

I live in Orange County.

The Sewage is treated to a degree. All solids are removed and the Treated Water is actually used to Irrigate the Fauna in nearly all the Public Greenbelts, including Plants and Trees along the local Highway Medians.

Water not needed for Irrigation is pumped into the Aquifer.

If there is a Purple Reclaimed Water sign, it’s not a good idea to sip the Water from the Sprinklers.
