texas recycling sewage into tap water?

[classy]

Sounds gross, but if its treated and filtered properly, not an issue at all.

This.

We are in a very bad situation right now in TX:

I cannot remember the last time it rained in Austin; it has been several months (with an average high of ~100F).

It's kind funny how people who live in red states think Climate Change is a myth, then you have these Droughts/Brush Fires/Hurricanes that mostly affect red states.

Talk about a self inflicted wound.

This practice has been going on for decades. I toured a new treatment plant on Ft. Worths south side that was doing this while I was in high school in the 1970's.

For the last decade I have worked for a company that makes centrifuges, belt filter presses and gravity table filters that water treatment plants use to seperate the solids from the liquids. And once the liquid is seperated filtered and sterilized it is returned to the water supply and if mixed with water pumped from lakes and wells, then further filtered clorinated and sent to your faucet.

ALL large cities do this. My company sells and services equipment for this purpose. We have large contracts with NYC, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philidelphia, and most all major cities of any size.

Not so much climate change being a myth, but rather "man-made" climate change being the myth.

Take it to P&N...

I agree.
