Drinking treated waste water

Being someone that’s worked at a water reclimation plant for some time, I understand the importance of safe drinking water standards for citizens, as well as the need for high standards for our treated effluent. If the source of this water has been processed to exceptional standards for proper dumping in national watersheds, the drinking of this water may taste bad but shouldn’t be too detrimental to your health. It’s unfortunate that the plumbers for this development were so incompetent to not notice they were piping the wrong line into the house.
