Here in Brisbane Australia we soon won't have a choice. Recycled water has been used in many other places successfully for a long time and is apparently cleaner than the current water we're drinking now. it makes sense to recycle our water, since we've been suffering from the worst drought in a long time, but I still can't get over the fact that I'll be drinking other people's waste! Would you drink it?

That sounds gross. I hope I don't drink recycled water. Maybe I shouldn't have read this discussion But if I'm going to be drinking recycled water, then I would not like to know about it. Just because too I already don't like water as it is and if I were to find out that the water that I've been drinking was recycled that would make me not want to drink water even more. But now I force myself to drink water. But maybe it is a good thing to recycle water, so that we'd always be preserving water too. You know.

well to think of it it seems a real disgustinh idea , but maybe we all drink that only because water we use everywhere finally goes into the earth only and then it is purified first naturally and then purified by artificial huge man made plants etc. so just drink it and not think where it came from . lol

Um..if I really, really had to I'd drink it. Otherwise I'd try to find a can of soda someplace..or milk.

water we are drinking now is RECYCLED by nature and we should not worry about recycle because if they are saying this water would be pure they must have proof and their wife, kids and relatives and they are also going to drink and why they would like to drink dirty water. I do not think it would be dirt because steam is pure water and we can get it easily by heating the dirty liquid.
