My friend Pres sent me this story. Love the picture with it.
Water has apparently become so scarce in the Golden State that some municipalities are about to begin piping recycled sewer water back into people’s homes, new reports indicate.
Maybe if they quit blowing up dams and sending fresh water into San Francisco Bay to save a bait fish there wouldn’t be a water shortage.
The California State Water Resources Control Board recently announced new regulations that will allow treated wastewater to be reused as drinking water, though it won’t make up 100 percent of what comes through the tap.
Well, that’s a relief. They’re gonna dilute the crap and piss.
A certain percentage of recycled wastewater will reportedly be mixed with fresh water before people drink it, officials say. And after being used a second time, this recycled water blend will have to undergo a waiting period before being reused again for a third time.
“This is a type of indirect potable use – it’s not treated recycle water that goes directly to someone’s house,” stated Miryam Barajas from the Water Board in an attempt to reassure the public that the changes aren’t as disgusting as they sound. “It’s highly treated,” she says, not mentioning the residues of pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, and other toxins that don’t get filtered out with current mass-filtration technologies.
The so-called sewer-to-reservoir setup – or what some are referring to as toilet-to-tap – isn’t necessarily new to California, especially in certain areas of Southern California that have been recycling water for several years now. But its implementation on a state-wide scale is new. In some ways, it’s also experimental.
“Toilet to tap.” Has kind of a nice ring to it doesn’t it.
Pres told me he heard on the news that the snow pack this year is 202% above normal. Yannow, had they built a few more reservoirs rather than wasting money on a bullet train to nowhere they would be able to store a lot of that melting snow pack. Or maybe if they built some nuke plants to provide electricity for some desalinization plants. Or maybe if they had cracked down on all of the illegal immigration for the past 50 years the state would not have the huge water using population.
Just remember, California leads the nation. This is what the liberals progressives rat bastard commies want for the rest of the country.
