I thought MOST places already recycled water. Most to “non-drinking” but more are sending it (with additional filtering) to tap water:
Seriously. I thought this was Babylon Bee when we’ve had water and septic filtration for years. A friend had to fish the condoms out of the holding tank, something I didn’t need to hear at 16 as a young woman. LOL. I’m turning 65 in Feb. so I guess we’ve been living in the future or something. Some people aren’t ready for the beautiful future I’ve seen.
on the southeast coast, cities take water upriver from slow moving rivers, treat it, consume it, eliminate it, treat it again and discharge it down river; cities downriver rinse and repeat until river is finally discharged into the atlantic ocean ...
i had a buddy who lived in the Piedmont who was in the wholesale tropical fish business with hundreds of fish tanks in his warehouse and had to become an expert in water purity and waster removal ... he said he was shocked when a water analysis he had done of the tap water he started with was nothing but recycled sewage ...
lesson here is install a 6 or 7 stage undersink RO system for your drinking and cooking water ...
