The process is less expensive and less energy-intensive than desalination because the treated water, while too salty for immediate use, is only about a tenth as salty as seawater. California has refused to approve desalination plants, but they will approve toilet water plants?
Besides, if the population of California is rising and so are the oceans, then why not draw on the ocean as a new source of drinking water? All that toilet water is doing is recycling the existing supply of water, which is in shortage in California.

If reuse of municpal treated wast water is necessary, that water should go to agriculture, which would reduce how much cleam water from rivers and unerground sources is needed for agriculture. The plant and microbiome in land used for agriculture will futher filter and breakdown bad biologicals in the treated waste water.

it is not just a wacko conspiracy theory , many Water Treatment faility managers all across the US have been caught taking money from bottled water companies for making the tap water taste bad. Introducing treated sewage is a great marketing tool for the bottled water industry

all of the coastal cities worldwide dump mass amounts of sewage into the ocean out of convenience, they are typically government entities, of course they wont tell you this, lying is what politicians do best. The treatment plant management even lies to the rank and file employees at the treatment plant so that they don't tell the public about it. I used to go into the huge treatment plants to pump concrete and heard some of the stories from people working there
Yes they do make some clean water but most of the time they can't keep up and just let it go through pipelines about a mile out, they dont tell you about that part , just the clear water they produce.
Sewage should be percolated through soil not introduced into the ocean.

They want us to drink literally 💩ty water. Gee, didn't the United NOTHING make efforts to provide clean safe drinking water for various 3rd world places, I ask so cynically?
They don't want us to eat meat.
They don't want us to own firearms.
They don't want us to drive ICE powered vehicles, and ultimately have no access to privately owned vehicles of any sort.
They want us to live in crowded urban centers (Warsaw Ghetto 2.0, anyone?,🤬🤬).
All for the Greater Good. Altogether now,
Call me Qanon crazy but there seems to be a pattern here

There are a vast number of people in the USA using drugs-—both illegal drugs & prescribed drugs.
HOW much residue from those drugs is passed into the waste system???
30% 40% 50% MORE???
THERE CURRENTLY ARE NO FILTERS OR TREATMENT THAT CAN REMOVE THIS RESIDUE.
Also very disturbing: Telling people to FLUSH away any unused drugs they were prescribed.
There cannot be a good ending to this scheme.
To: ridesthemiles
Filtering it would defeat the purpose.
If they removed all the bcp’s then we wouldnt all vote democrat and have our periods at the same time.

Dude. The state has an ocean for a boundary and plenty of valleys to store rain water. Maybe build dams and plants to convert salt water to fresh water. But noo. This is too obvious for some people.
