re: How do you feel about drinking reclaimed water?

It was sulfur water. So strong that when we opened the door we could smell the sulfur from the toilets and sink drains. The whole town was like that. I remember turning on the shower for like 10 seconds before starting to gag and turning it off. We ate sandwiches/burgers outside so the sulfur would not gag us.
My grandparents had a well that started out okay, but a few years later it "turned" to sulfur water. By that time they had gotten a county water hookup and didn't rely on the well. My grandmother used the well water for her garden and plants until the pump messed up and she decided she didn't want to fix it. The well is still capped on the back porch of the house unless the ones who own it now did something with it.

All water has been reclaimed at some point, right?
It's gotta all be recycled fish and dinosaur pee at this point right?

As someone that is familiar with the regulations around drinking water and the technologies used to produce reclaimed water, I am 100% fine with drinking it.

i thnk getting over the mental block of the actuality of it would be a challenge, but once you conquer that, should be no problem at all

Are they diluting it with fresh water?
If they were using sea water as drinking water, I’m assuming they are using a desalination process.

Yes they use DeSal for Seawater. For DeSal or potable reuse some utilities add it to the groundwater and then pump it via their regular wells to 'dilute' it with groundwater to make it more palatable for the public.

Rented a room in a motel on Lake Greeson in Arkansas that had that sulfur water. Just wetting your toothbrush with it would make you gag. Turning on the shower was horrific. We drove to a nearby state park to use their showers; the water in the park was fine.

If you've visited, Texas, Florida, California, Arizona etc. you've likely already tried it.

My rule of thumb is if Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, or the World Economic Forum is for something, I’m 100% against it. They do not have your interest at heart and want you to be either their slave or dead. That’s all you’re good for to these scumbags.

There’s a lot of ground between those extremes. But anyone whose municipal tap water comes from the Mississippi River (assuming they aren’t in like northern Minnesota) is already doing this to some degree - it’s just diluted with rain/melt water.
Even in North Minnesota, the water was at some point treated, dumped, flowed into the sea, evaporated, and fell as rain.

Yeah, the water we drink today was at one point dinosaur piss
I did some napkin math (probably wrong by several orders of magnitude), and came up with the conclusion that there is a 3.65e-18 chance that I have drunk Hitler's piss in my lifetime.

Who claimed it the first time?

When we put in our aerobic septic system the sales pitch was the water coming out of the sprinklers would be as good or better than the water coming out of the faucet.
Get downwind of our aerobic sprinklers and it smells like a turd. I’m just saying.

In the 1990 period there were 150 use/discharge permits for water use from th Guadalupe river from source to gulf discharge. That water saw more bladders than a urologist

In Soylent Green 40 billion people lived on earth and reclaimed water was the least of their worries. It was the reclaimed food that was the biggest problem.
