This Restaurant In Belgium Serves Recycled Water From Its Toilets

wonderfulengineering

In order to publicize and highlight a new kind of water purification system, a restaurant located in Kuurne, Belgium, has commenced serving its customers, free drinking water that is recycled from the sinks and toilets of the restaurants.

The water that is currently being served at the Gust’eaux restaurant in Kuurne is identical to any other potable water that you will find anywhere else as far as its smell, taste, and color go. However, there is one very important difference between this water and any other kind of water that you will drink; this particular water has been sourced from the toilets in the restaurant.

  1. Great. Let’s all live life like we’re stranded on a raft in the middle of the Pacific. Actually, the castaways have it better; They get fresh rainwater every now and then, between sips of their piss.

    My German friend’s brother works for the water and sewer dept in Cologne, and he bitches that Germans are so fanatical about saving water that there is not enough in the sewer system to run the sanitation equipment properly. Luckily enough, there is this huge river nearby which they can draw water from to clean the sewage.

  2. Ode to a Belgian exchange student:

    There once was a boy from Namur
    Who said “It occurs to me, sir…
    If you pee on the seat
    It may not be neat
    But the water stays ever so pure!”

  3. While touring the engineering spaces of the cruise ship I was aboard during my honeymoon 12 years ago, they showed us a piece of equipment that converts ‘grey water’ to potable water. ‘Grey water’ would be defined as water normally used in places like sinks to wash hands, food, things not toilet-related. The engineer that was overseeing that portion of the tour mentioned it was mainly for emergency purposes (if the normal distillers to convert sea water to potable water broke down for some reason), but that it generally was not used.
