Reply to comment by fostertheatom in Recycled wastewater is not only as safe to drink as conventional potable water, it may even be less toxic than many sources of water we already drink daily by giuliomagnifico

The water on this planet is the same water that was here 4 billion years ago. Odds are good everything that has passed through your kidneys passed through a few sets before yours. Anyone who thinks that's nasty is just being childish.

And if you walked around a large city with glasses of wastewater trying to tell people it was just as good as regular tap water or try to say what you are saying you wouldn't get a single person to take a sip all afternoon. You need to change people's perception before you will get any meaningful dialogue.

People perceive it as nasty. That's just how it currently is. Calling people childish isn't going to change any minds or do anything positive. It's just going to make people double down and possibly tell you to "Go F*** Yourself".
