You have all been drinking recycled water all of your lives. We have the very same water on the planet today, that we had when the earth was formed, so everything you drinking has already been passed through a few dinosaurs along the way. Recycled water is perfectly safe, and has been consumed for many years in a lot of places..
There's a big difference today: namely, drugs and such, that never existed centuries ago, getting into the water. The effects are as yet unknown.
My two dogs never go near the toilet to drink water so if they don't like it, guess I won't go near it either. I know that water is normally filtered over time thru the natural filtering system of sand and gravel which does clean the impurities. Find a clean mountain stream and taste the water. Steve

Yes but the Dinosaurs werent taken prescription and over the counter drugs like society now does.
They have found drugs in the drinking water as think some cant be filtered out or they arent using filters that remove traces of drugs.
Over time if you drink a gallon of water a day you might have a problem.
The FDA claims its "safe" but the FDA is useless . I couldnt care less if its recycled water but I dont want traces of drugs in it as I drink lots water .
Here as of now its sea water with salt removed and regular fresh lake water.
The day its sewer recycled water which you can rest assured NOT 1 politician who approves this will drink at home than I will buy bottled water .

Yes, this is what is scary about it.
Remember the scandal a year or so ago when they tested (I think it might have even been in Atl, can't remember?) the drinking water and found all sorts of traces of drugs in it, from urine, then it gets recycled and cleaned up.
I would like to see the process, I've worked with a lot of waste water treatment systems for refineries and oilfields, some claimed potable water output but I never saw any of them work that good.
I heard a while back, that a lot of bottled water is just "good tap water", if I recall correctly? (not "spring water")
