Human Events:
On Thursday, The New York Times published a piece titled “There’s Something in the Water in Virginia. Before You Say ‘Yuck,’ Wait.,” rejoicing in the fact that Virginia residents have been subjected to treated wastewater, not for agricultural or non-potable uses, but pumped into their drinking water source.
“Every day, the region’s sanitation system takes a million gallons of treated wastewater and pumps it back into the Potomac Aquifer, a major source of drinking water for the area. And there are plans to increase that to 100 million gallons in the coming years,” The Times reports.
The general concept is not new— sewage treatment facilities are a fixture of our society for a reason. And most of us can stomach the concept of treated sewer water being used for non-potable reasons like watering plants, putting out fires, or washing our cars. But many of us would draw the line at cooking with or drinking it.
That’s where The New York Times comes in. Rather than ask or event address questions about the practice, The Times simply wants to reassure you that this is just a necessary part of the fight against Climate Change and “population growth.” more

Turning urine into drinking water has been around for a few years. I worked for one of those whacked environmental engineering firms who was experimenting with this – that was over 25 years ago. It was New York City water where it was recently reported that they discovered polio in the water. Well just ask this East Indian how things went when he drank the koolaid:
Indian minister falls sick after drinking water from ‘holy’ rivulet
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has not said why he needed treatment after drinking from Kali Bein, or ‘black stream’

Not far from where I live, we have volcanic geysers that produces enough electricity to power 850,000 homes. They pump raw sewage into the geysers to produce the power. So you wanna drink that stuff – not even treated.
Maybe the water geniuses from Flint, Mich or Jackson, Miss can consult on the project.
The dems have expertise in abundance

…the Ganges is basically an open sewer that in latter days has had a problem with partly burnt corspes floating in it because India has been denuded of wood for cremation so the poor sometimes cannot get enough to fully consume a corpse. So you end up with folks doing the holy ablutions in the same river with sewer trout and crispy human remains.

NYT readers have been consuming sewage for years so they should take this in stride.
Kind of ironic given that the NYT’s first, best destiny is to be used as a bird cage liner, so you put shit into the birdcage only to take more out…
Well, if your city gets its water from a major lake or river, then technically, you are drinking sewagefrom whoever is upstream from you. For example, Las Vegas gets most of its water from Lake Mead, 93% of which gets returned. And don’t forget the dead bodies they found there recently. Many cities get their water from rivers and dump their treated sewage back into the same. It was only a mater of time before they connect the two pipes. “But no worries, I get my water from a well!” Do you have a septic system? Do your neighbors?
Back in the day (ancient history) Blue Plains’ output was cleaner than the Potomac into which it was dumping.
Don’t know if that’s still the case or not.

It is, until there is a major storm that causes enough storm sewer runoff that they have to open the gates of the effluent reservoirs

“… pumps it back into the Potomac Aquifer…”
but fracking is bad
yeah, contaminate the aquifer, that will be easy to fix

Not much different from the violence-loving Cuomo Clone Kickback Kathy-Karen Hochul conspiring with Joe Biden’s slave on the plantation Mayor UNCLE Eric Adams poisoning NYC’s low-income housing residents with arsenic in their drinking water recently.
@Kcir beat me to it. Anyone who has ever drank Coors has already done it.
With a nice roach cutlet, and an order of rat droppings on the side?

Surely the East Indians have enough common sense to bury their dead if burning is not an option. Glad I don’t live there.

Believe there was a “River Monsters” episode where the catfish found to be the river monsters were getting huge off the easy feed of the unburned parts of the improperly done cremations.
Even in my back yard the flatheads get to extreme size that could rival some of those in that episode. A tad to big for “Noodling,”
Yum, yum… Fire up the smoke house…
