Once again, I have had the pleasure of seeing and listening to close minded people wringing their hands, whining that they couldn't possibly drink reclaimed/recycled water! Ewwww so nasty!
Uhh, clue up, the water you are currently swilling isn't pristine. There are frogs, fish and who knows what else living (that includes all bodily functions) in the dammed up rivers and reservoirs. Reclaimed water goes through more purification processes than the water you are getting from these sources.
Water reclamation is something that should have been in place here over 30 years ago, considering just how dry Australia is. Also, these idiots growing English Cottage Gardens, which are horrible water needy plants, should be told to replace them with drought resistant, or native gardens. And also, stop fining these people with manicured lawns and Northern climate gardens $50 for watering on days they aren't supposed to. They don't care about $50 when they are spending at least $300 a week having a professional gardener come out to maintain these lush, water sucking gardens.

It rusts steel, rots leather, and fish fuck in it.
