Oh, Shit

San Diego opts to process toilet water for drinking.

 

[Tryharder62]

Ummmmmmm.......no. I just......no.

 

[ryan8558]

So that's better than desalinization?

 

[Stewart_Pidd]

so everyone will be taking golden showers bro?

I'm sort of sorry Vetteman isn't here to comment on this development.

There's a powerful coprophilia lobby.

All better.

[nerfhearder]

Not really a big deal but people don't like to hear about where their water comes from.

 

[mLa2123000195]

Straight from the tap?

he only goes in up to his ankles.

that's if he goes headfirst bro.

No problem .
If your water source is a river then you already have recycled sewage in it ,or did you think fish got out to have a crap .

Been doing it for years in many places.

At home our water has been through three sets of kidneys. Hormones from the pill are an issue - they can change the sex of fish
I did once think about hanging around a treatment plant to see if I could get my transition for free
As for pee into water generally, it's no big deal. Reed beds are perfect for that but turds still need broken down in septic tanks first

London had been doing it for centuries but now they take the shit out before reusing it.

I would imagine sterilizing wastewater is less energy intensive than desalinization. Probably less capital out lay than building desalinization plants. Considering sewage discharge into the ocean you probably have to desalinize and sterilize seawater.

My brother worked for Trojan Technologies which does ultra-violet waste water treatment. He was being sent to Cali 20 years ago and heard these discussions before the South Cali drought crisis.

Oh the UV thing is so cool. A load of bugs have developed resistance to chemicals like chlorine but they are suceptible to UV. So they pass the untreated water down balck pipes and the bugs are like "hmm, time for snooze guys" then BAAAM they get toasted with a section pipe dosed in UV. Build a resistance to that you fuckers

*smiles*

it's said the water from our taps has been through 7 people before us

Lived in New Orleans for a while. The water in New Orleans comes from the Mississippi River. About everything East of the Rockies and West of the Appalachians drains into it.

So don't know how many people it goes thru before it got to there.

Also I have no idea how many chemical plants/refineries dump there shit into the river. There's a reason the area from Baton Rouge to New Orleans is call "cancer alley".

 

[Hard_Rom]

We get ours from the Great Lakes. They close beaches for swimming at times. Rivers flowing into them have been known to catch fire. Toxic algae blooms occur. 39 million peoples worth of sewage empties into them. Superior's water may be safe to drink with a touch of whiskey but lower than that YUCK!

 

[chillywilly2]

Superiors water would be fine if the politicians didn't make laws to scare the crap out of them because of a couple of low lifes not testing properly so they mix it 50/50 with chlorine now.

Re-use of sewage...

From Wikipedia:

Unplanned potable reuse

Water reuse occurs in various ways throughout the world. It happens daily on rivers and other water bodies everywhere. If you live in a community downstream of another, chances are you are reusing its water and likewise communities downstream of you are most likely reusing your water.

Unplanned Indirect Potable Use has existed even before the introduction of reclaimed water. Many cities already use water from rivers that contain effluent discharged from upstream sewage treatment plants. There are many large towns on the River Thames upstream of London (Oxford, Reading, Swindon, Bracknell) that discharge their treated sewage ("non-potable water") into the river, which is used to supply London with water downstream.

This phenomenon is also observed in the United States, where the Mississippi River serves as both the destination of sewage treatment plant effluent and the source of potable water. Research conducted in the 1960s by the London Metropolitan Water Board demonstrated that the maximum extent of recycling water is about 11 times before the taste of water induces nausea in sensitive individuals. This is caused by the buildup of inorganic ions such as Cl−, SO42−, K+ and Na+, which are not removed by conventional sewage treatment.
