    That’s literally how they convinced people to vote against doing it when I lived in L.A. They called it “toilet to tap.” Now L.A. is running out of water and suddenly they’re desperate to do it.

    Guess what? Animals piss and shit in municipal water supplies that aren’t recycled. Constantly.

      They could always opt for refined ocean water. The Arabs and Israelis do it for the past 2 decades or so.

          It’s not the same. One, the volume of water in which fish shit/piss is emmensly larger. Two, there are other life forms that recycle that shit and use it to grow.
