Why does anyone let their dog drink from the toilet?

Look, we all know what fish do in the Colorado River. This is just keeping the cycle in-house.

Isn’t toilet water already drinking water? There’s only one water main coming into my house.

It seems a real waste to purify water just to flush, water the lawn and wash your car.

When you think about it, all water is recycled water.

We have been converting toilet water to drinkable water for decades…….that’s what all those treatment plants are for…

Nature has been recycling water for millennia. We call it “the water cycle”, and they teach it to small children as a good thing.

If humans found a way to speed up the process, why do some people think it’s a bad thing….?

Nature recycles waste water. Every molecule you drink has been through some organism at some point in time.

Really, dude. Recycled waste, or as the right-wing liked to call it some years back to further scare people and hamper adoption “toilet-to-tap”, is a safe and great way to help with CA’s water issues. Now you have to go and feed the trolls. I’ve been reading you in the U-T for years. I would have thought better of you. smh

Good one!

Truth is we need Desal systems in California seriously.

Folks, the water that is in the world is finite and has been here since the Earth was formed. Using super-treated effluent just does what nature eventually does to it, just faster. The only water lost from the system is the kind that is so contaminated by “fracking” that it needs to be injected into the earth and locked away forever.
