  • The vast, vast, vast majority of Americans drink recycled wastewater today. The wastewater treatment plants dump their effluent into the river upstream from where the drinking water is sourced.

    By doing this, legally the drinking water source is the river and the idiots who don’t understand how water treatment get to drink their own purified urine without being told they are.

    The problem is that it would be significantly more efficient to skip the step of putting it into the river, since American (and most other developed nations) wastewater effluent is usually significantly cleaner than the river it is being discharged into.
