Hello, good point but how are they going to treat toilet water to the extent of it becoming pure drinking water, it is not a simple process and would be very expensive , but seems better than to let in flow into rivers and sea estuaries , by this I mean after all the solids from sewers have been taken out they let the dirty water go in nearly every sewage plant after heavy rain, to stop this and put through another cleaning process for pure drinking water maybe the EA expert will drink some first,Β Edited August 29, 2022 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMc Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Treated water already goes straight back to our waterways, but as above it only works if managed correctly which in many cases is not for a variety of reasons, greed being one of them in terms of bonuses, fat-cat pay etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
