The idea of drinking water that was recently sewage swirling down your toilet bowl, shower drain, or kitchen sink may sound pretty icky. But experts say it’s actually nothing to be squeamish about — and it might be coming to your state and city soon.
It’s a water recycling method known as direct potable reuse, or DPR, which sends highly treated sewage water almost directly to a drinking water system for distribution to communities. It’s legal in Texas, and legal on a case-by-case basis in Arizona. Multiple other states are in the process of formulating regulations to legalize it too, including California, Colorado, and Florida.

And now I know why everyone in Florida drinks bottled water.
Ditto.
good for washing down those bugs they want us to eat
My city made a priority to make clean water.
It has made the water so clean that what goes back into the river is basically bottled water.

From the thrust of the article I’m guessing he recycles sewage. But I’m not quite sure how he could make so much money at it.

Another hysteria article like those about Covid.
Animals urinate and defecate directly into water supplies.
Dead bodies are in water supplies.
Rotting plant, animal and other matter are in water supplies.
That is why water systems filter, treat and test the water before sending it to you.
There are more medical issues created by well water than by public water systems.
Can I poo you a glass of water?
Great! Maybe that'll finally convince wifey that we need to get out of Hellholefornia as soon as possible!
Yeah, because the bottling plants get their water from a magic source that not associated with the city water system.
Not to mention all the drug by-products that are now also in a lot of the water supply.
“I have a well.”

So do I. And I’m keeping it.
I’ve used gray water in my irrigation system for over 20 years... Yard looks great. But there’s not even enough of it for the city to sell it to everyone who wants it. Those of us who signed up early and paid the extra fee to hook it into our systems lucked out.
It doesn’t make sense to pay for the extra processing to put in into droning water when there’s plenty of people lined up to use it outside and there’s a shortage.
No bottled water for congress, just regular poo water!
“What’s in your drinking water? If you live in one of these states, it might soon be recycled sewage”
soon? much of the east coast “potable” water has been recycled sewage for at least at half a century ...
a friend from high-school built a wholesale tropical fish business in Charlotte during the 1980’s that had hundreds of fish tanks in a warehouse connected with a sophisticated centralized water purification and circulation system that he also built ... the first time he tested the muni tap water he starts with, he was shocked with the results and told me, “Why this is nothing more than recycled sewage!” and he was correct.
low-lying east coast cities like Charlotte draw their water from intakes in slowly moving rivers upstream of the cities and discharge their treated effluent downstream into those same rivers ... each city along the river fall rinses and repeats ...
i’ve never drunk tap water since then, first drinking spring water delivered in 5-gallon jugs and eventually moving to a 6-stage undersink RO system ...
btw, even much of the so-called “pure” rocky mountain water, once it enters the Front Range, travels through rivers and reservoirs that receive irrigation discharge from fields sprayed with fertilizer and other ag chemicals ...
“Yeah, because the bottling plants get their water from a magic source that not associated with the city water system.”
wrong ... they force tap water through an Reverse Osmosis filter whose pores are so small that even dissolved mineral ions are filtered out ... other chemicals, germs and viruses are too large to pass though as well ... and then the water is blasted with UV light as a final sterilization step ...
That might just be what they want you to believe. Pictures or it doesn’t happen.
Fish and frogs don’t have toilets and are forced to poop and pee in the water they live in. Kind of like a giant San Francisco.
Where does the recycled water from your local sewage treatment plant get dumped?
Haha. There should be a way to reference an article without all the sidebars of “trending” nonsense. I did follow one. it was bee ess.
