I'm ok with this. Tertiary treatment of wastewater effluent combined with conventional sand filtration would result in high quality H2O.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've always been under the impression that the effluent from a waste water treatment plant is technically cleaner than most river water. I assume the age and tech/type of treatment used by any given plant will affect this. 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... |

Everything with a municipal sewage treatment plant is fine and dandy until there is a big rain storm and the sewage plant operators have to bypass treatment and discharge untreated raw sewage directly into the receiving waters in order to prevent the treatment plant from flooding and knocking it out of commission. Shit happens all the time. |

They should exchange that water with the saline left over from a desalination
plant and put it back to sea. The desalinated water could be added to the reservoir. |

The effluent from a wastewater treatment plant is already cleaner than what many cities pull from a river into their drinking water plants. This is a non-issue for anyone who understands the water cycle.

Horrifically expensive relative to gov subsidized water.
Horrifically expensive only if you don't consider the real costs of the "free" water. Shit, in Texas, the lack of freshwater inflows into our bays has a huge "cost" in lost production of things like oysters and fin fish. Some of our rivers are so tapped, they no longer even reach the Gulf. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A well run conventional surface water treatment plant is capable of treating some pretty nasty water with E.coli counts in the thousands of colonies per 100 ml level. Also powdered activated carbon and the coagulation , flocculation and settling processes remove pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors along with many other chemical contaminants. I doubt dumping treated wastewater effluent into the water will make it anymore challenging to treat than it already is with the existing sources of pollution already in the water. People like clean, virgin sources of water because they're a lot cheaper to treat. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes, I live in CA. You said you were waterlogged from all the liberal tears. I said leaving the state could be helpful; by that I meant getting away from the state, and all the liberal tears, could help you dry out a little. That clarify things? 
That is easier said than done, which is why we get ripped soo badly. ETA: It is four + hours from here to Nevada for me.

We have the largest desal plant in the country about 7 miles from where I’m sitting. It produces 50,000,000 gallons of fresh water per day. About 10% of the area’s water needs.

When I was in the Boy Scouts we went to one of the water treatment plants. I was quite impressed. And the water is drinkable and doesn't taste any different than tap water. You should see how it looks coming in, though. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
California to add recycled sewer water to the state reservoirs California’s water regulation agency approved new measures Tuesday that will allow recycled water – water that once ran through the sewers – to be added to the state’s reservoirs, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The new rules are expected to be implemented by 2023. "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." She says the new regulations could potentially affect all 36 of California’s reservoirs that serve as the main source of the state’s municipal drinking water. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
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. Reusing sewage should be for industrial water and irrigation of crops not eaten raw. The US just keeps handicapping ourselves for stupid reasons. |
