You know if you have a septic and a well you're pretty much drinking and cooking and bathing with recycled gray water.

I believe all future water plants should be built beside or as close to as possible to the sewer plants. The sewer plants effluent line should be pipped straight to the water plant for use. We have the technology (have actually had it for years) to do this safety. Especially drout prone areas ... this would be a great help. It is such a waste on both ends, it would cut down on the water we pull from the earth.
I believe another good idea would be for the states along the coasts to use sea water for drinking water. I mean fuck all the global warming folks say the oceans are rising so kill 2 birds with 1 stone. |

By law, sewer effluent has to be safe.
Doesn't mean heavy rainfall can't cause bypasses resulting in untreated water being discharged into rivers and streams. Bypasses are self-reported and you know utility operators will be completely honest.

I can't wait for 30 years to pass and the infrastructure to fail because it was never properly maintained or replaced. "Oh it's perfectly safe to drink shit water".....Uh huh, as long as EVERYTHING IS DONE EXACTLY RIGHT, all procedures are followed and the equipment is working as it should.....like in Flint, Michigan and the Oroville Dam.....

So, when going to California we should filter our water as if we were in Mexico - Got it!
They wanted to be Mexico, one step closer! Edit- I do know it’s fine to drink or reuse. Just poking ?? |

This type of process is not uncommon. City A discharges treated sewer water into river. Some miles downstream City B pulls river water into water plant, treats it, then sends it straight to your kitchen.

Well since every City that draws water for treatment for drinking from rivers or reservoirs fed by rivers what difference does it make unless you live in Flint?
Here in the KC area all our wastewater is dumped into the Kaw or Missouri rivers only to be picked up downstream by the water supply intakes. In some cases less than a mile or two away. I seriously doubt anyone is talking about not treating the water drawn from the reservoir before it reach's your faucets... That said at our house we use a reverse osmosis filter and also have a couple of steam distillers for back-up for all drinking or cooking. |

Primary/secondary clarifies w/aeration basins and final treatment has to produce a cleaner product vs ponds with floating aeration motors that mix/propeller the shit out of the water... But shit happens. The aeration ponds or lagoons trap solids and allow it to fall out of suspension. Aerators on top oxygenate the water promoting bacterial breakdown of solids, ammonia, nitrogen. As water makes its way from one side of the lagoon to the other (through baffle curtains), it's picked up for final chemical treatment and then discharged. If the influent rate is too high (due to I/I caused by rainfall) or wave action prevents settling, the discharge water can be less than clean. Operators must test weekly, but most don't report bypasses since the state regulatory agency can issue fines and/or moratoriums. California could do this and it could work, but the treatment system would need additional safeguards and lots of testing. Might be fine for a large water district, but the cost would be too high for smaller systems. |

The morons in california dump hundreds of millions of gallons of treated waste water into the ocean every day. They could conserve more water like the rest of the states by putting it inland instead of into the ocean. That alone would help some the states water issues

Quote HistoryQuoted: Short of anything that went into outerspace, this planet has the same amount of water on it that it did from day one. Jeeez Wells drawing from aquifers that are not greatly replenished (such as in AZ) are steadily drawing down the water table as the water takes a lot longer to replenish than it was believed in the past. I look forward to the days when we have to limit ourselves to showering once a week and re-using the bath water for the dish water and then for the toilet (if we haven't gone to some type of waterless composting toilet). AZ has too many people for the amount of water available in the end, especially with the population still growing here. |

Groundwater recharge. It's been done for years.
If one would ever go to a plant that discharges into Classified waters, you probably would not know you are in a treatment facility if run correctly. The ones I used to run were the showcase of the state and the Sanitarians for the state would give tours at my one facility. We had sand filtration and "polishing" equipment, in addition to the other methods of treatment that would treat the water to a very high degree. I won't bore you with the details, but our receiving waters were classified for trout habitat and we also ran three trout fishing clubs on company land and waters below the discharge. It CAN be done. But, can it be done right? Can it be done with a level of proficiency? Do the people around it really care? Those are the factors that matter. |

In 1993, the Outfall was extended from a length of two miles off the coast of Point Loma to its present length of 4.5 miles. Twelve feet in diameter and operating via gravity-feed, the Outfall ends in 320 feet of water and splits into a Y-shaped diffuser to ensure wide dispersal of effluent into ocean waters. The Point Loma Outfall is one of the longest and deepest in the world. Approximately 180 million gallons of wastewater treated at the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant are discharged through the Outfall each day |

"This is a type of indirect potable use — it's not treated recycle water that goes directly to someone's house," said Miryam Barajas at the Water Board. "It's highly treated."
