Sensationalistic, misleading title and story treatment.
The simple truth is, any city drawing its water supply from a river or lake is already doing pretty much the same thing, because up the river or elsewhere on the lake there is waste entering the water that must be processed out to make the water safe to drink. It's just a matter of degree.
If anything, the Wichita Falls routine, including a reverse osmosis treatment, is probably superior to what many cities use. And needless to say, the water must meet federal standards for purity in order to be sold to the public.
The bottom line is, the only real issue here is people's "gross out" reaction to being told they're getting sewage water, and the simple, obvious fix is to stop saying that. They're getting safe, highly purified water, period.
I'd like to remind everyone that *every single molecule of water* on this planet has been processed countless times by countless bodies. That's just how it works. The only question to ask is how clean is it, and that is easily answered.

Exactly! It's ALL poop water! Matter of fact, it's DINOSAUR poop water! Omigard, we're all DOOMED! Run away! Run away!
What does it matter just so long as the water is treated by plants using solar power?
Really though, in general the water is safe and treated and conditioned water is as safe any anything you get in bottles. Bottled water is a joke and marketed to the gullible.
Of course, the idea they are trying to plant in the minds of people is that sewage it just making the grand loop and what you flush this morning is what you drink later today. Its not quite like that.
Impossible. Makes me wonder if she would fit in a sewer pipe.
