Hey as most of you our government wants to introduce recycled water into our water lines to combat the water restrictions.

Would you drink it?

at first i thought no.. coz just the thought of drinking what was once digested in some other guys guts was enough to put me off drinking water for the rest of my life! but after hearing that all major cities around the world use recycled water (eg london, detroit, etc) i figured it cant be too bad. i think id be ok if i didnt know bout it. apparently u cant tell the diff

Recycled water is used mainly in industry as cooling or cleaning, not used in households. Sometimes it is mixed with fresh water but at a very small ratio to minimise possible health risks. This frees up the good stuff for domestic use. I wouldn't drink it.

Haha, it makes me laugh when people say no considering we drink water from dams that have all sorts of crap in them including dead and decaying animals!
Recycled water is used in kidney dialysis so it's pretty pure isn't it?
I would drink it no problem, considering that it's not going to be 100% recycled anyway that your drinking.

Yeah but only because I saw on that TV show how its made (or some other show on lifestyle channel) they showed the process, it's actually absurdly filtered and cleaned, not much of a water fan myself but I wouldn't have a problem with it
