Reply to comment by gunplumber700 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
>Also, most municipalities get their water from reservoirs
that are full of living things that poop, die and decay

Not the same as literal concentrated human shitwater. Go take a look at some raw wastewater and some raw reservoir/ well water.
I also left out wells. Reservoirs and wells.

it’s treated first idiot. in a very effective multistage process. biological material is actually the easiest part to clean. it’s the chemicals from industrial waste that should be more concerning. the water from a wwtp is clear and free of microorganisms and is already treated by law where you have to treat the raw water from reservoirs for it to be drinkable.

Is a discussion over water really worth insulting strangers for absolutely no reason? Be better

Well moron, there’s a thing called grammar. Feel free to use it.
Go look at colliform samples from the average wwtp.
Wwtp effluent is NOT treated to drinking water standards. Every heard of crypto (not the currency)? Enlighten me on how a wwtp without a tertiary process treats their effluent for that to need drinking water standards?
