.....let them drink piss"
Formerly known as water from the Colorado River.
I heard it was full of dihydrogen monoxide, a chemical. I don't put chemicals into my body, because they're dangerous ... that's why they're called chemicals, a synonym for poison.
Feces I can handle, but I draw the line at poop.
...AND...right now...it is offered at a “special price” just for you!!
That’s pretty smart of them. If I ever built a new house I’d consider adding a gray water tank where laundry and maybe shower water could be diverted. The tank would be connected to a pressure pump and could be used for washing cars and watering the lawn.
I’ve got no problem with this. As an occasional backpacker, I’ve filtered plenty of water with no ill effects. If I can be confident with a $25 Sawyer Mini filter, I’m sure a municipal wastewater treatment plant will do far better.
Plus, that pesky 4th grade science class about the water cycle comes in to play. Water is a zero sum game. It gets treated, ingested, expelled, returned, treated, ingested...
Eat recycled food - its good for the environment and OK for you
Why not. CA has sewer people in the legistlature, a sewer governor, sewer actors, sewer senators, and, of course, the country’s greatest sh*thole in San Francisco.
I had an old farmhouse where the sink drains went to the large garden as gray water. Only the toilet went to the septic tank. Illegal of course.

“How is it different from living downstream of some other city and drawing your water from the same river into which their sewage treatment plant discharges?”
I live very close to the Mississippi. We’ve joked for years that the bacteria purify the liquids and the catfish recycle the solids.
You're a bigger man than I.
Another step by California to join the Turd World.....
Here in NJ we have reservoirs in the mountains; our sewage plants don’t discharge there.
I don’t understand how Arabs can desalinate seawater and California can’t.
If They ever figure out how to only return sludge to the ocean, They’ll have a new brand new crisis to get in our face about.
Yes you do put chemicals in your body, willingly, all day every day.
And no,they're not called "chemicals" because of any danger.
Oh no, not me! Only the purest food, and clear, fresh rainwater, to purify and replenish my natural bodily fluids.
Have you ever heard of a thing called "fluoridation?"
I read in the Osage Beach newspaper that the treated water put back in the lake contains a high volume of whatever drugs are being peed out. Supposedly it makes the fish mean?
All the pills people take go right on through the cleaning process. Interesting.
