Drinking Sewage Water
Filed under: Etc.
Orange County is getting Twocupped! For real!
The Magic Kingdom's residents will soon be drinking water that was mingled with their peepoo.
The O.C. is one of the first county's in the U.S. to implement an intense new water purification program that will take the water from your toilet to your tap.
Reusable water, taking conservation to the next levels.
The intense process to purify the sewage into drinking water includes a hard scrubbing with filters, screens, chemicals and ultraviolet light and the passage of time underground.
It may even taste better than regular tap water!
Drought-plagued Georgia should look into this!

Where do u think Aquafina or Dasani comes from? People been drinking that piss shit for years.
Florida already tastes like swamp water.
so glad I don't live there
Look who is gonna be drinking this! OC people lol (yah I am bored)
Can you PLEASE quit bringing up the 2-cup thing. Let it be you sick ass.
You all talking about crackers… Day by day I'm more convinced that we are ignorant people. Do some research before creating opinions and see if you learn something!
guys. it's pure water. it's safer than tap water! it's so much cleaner than the stuff in the water supplies, where animals drink and poop in the dams anyway.
it is a fact that ALL tap water is recycled toliet water, recyled shower water, you name it is all recyled.. although It is all purified and filtered

This is amazing! Even bottled water has been reused (contrary to their marketing) so all water has been recycled. All drought areas shoudl look into this. That reverse osmosis water is very pure . .even better than some bottled water. OC got soemthing, at least, right. Who would have thought they could be so enviromentally conscious!!
ok Perez a little geography- Orange County FLA or Orange county CA??!! These places are both homes of "Magic Kingdoms"
did you NOT read the article? PEREZ, you are wrongfully misguiding people.
this does not mean that you will be drinking water that is contaminated.
this system already exists here in southern ontario, canada. it works perfectly. the water from my tap is perfectly clean and fresh.
my mom designed gwrs.
you should promote this instead of critizing it!
we need to recycle!
I live in Phoenix, AZ and we've been purifying sewage water for a couple of decades.
Hmm.. I thought Georgia already did do this. Or at least the city of Atlanta Fulton/Dekalb counties did at least.
Not 100% sure though.
i live in oc…..its great that we are reusing the water bc its good for the environment, but ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is just not a pretty picture! (BARF!!!!)
YUCK, YUCK, YUCK,
OK RANT OVER
i love oc (not)
i wonder if they've secretly been using recycled sewage water and never really said anything. .
Santa monica, CA has ben doing this for 10 years.
Wake up and smell the roses!
There are two terms you should familiarize yourself with: 'water cycle' and 'technology'.
The same water has been doing the rounds since Earth formed!! That's called the water cycle.
Technology is the stuff that allows you fools to read about Britney and Paris. It's super clever stuff. Also cleans water like a dream. Keeps those astronauts hydrated while in space for instance! Yes, they drink the same water over and over again! Pretty smart people too them space folk!
umm yeah i love in Orange County and no way in hell am i drinking water that i peed into yeah right freaking nasty.
umm yeah i love in Orange County and no way in hell am i drinking water that i peed into yeah right freaking nasty and is all that stuff they're gonna put into it actually good for us?
Orange County already has recycled sewage for water. Riverside County's sewage goes down the Santa Ana River where it eventually makes it down filtered to their water table by passing underground.
Im from the OC and our shit dont stink; so the water will be just fine.
Welcome to California; now go home.
This is dangerous for a number of reasons.
Also, the water purification doesn't filter out hormones like those from women's birth control. It's all ready been causing fish to mutate and develop both sex organs. You can only imagine what its doing to people.
Good morning Perez,shout out from South Africa,we absolutely ADORE you,anyways,i work for Joburg Water and we have had this system for years,where we purify water from the "toilet to the tap"all i can say is that our water is one of the best in the world.No need to be scared.Thanks and keep up the excellent work
okay that is fucking sick! if that every happened here in my town, i would move! that means that water is not only what you drink, but what you cook with, wash your dishes with, wash your clothes with, take your showers with, fill up your swimming pools with, etc. i guess it's always better to not know the source of things!
Yeah, reclaimed water. It waters plants on the side of the road. We don't drink it. But everything is recycled, right, since matter can't be destroyed?
one of the first county's? Counties. C'mon. Just because the people who comment on here can't spell, those posting information should be able to.
well if you want to get techincal all water goes through cycled from consumption to evaporation etc etc, i heard somewhere with every glass of water you drink it had been through eight yes 8 other people before you drink it, just think about it!!
wow, first time on this site, and here i see, toilet to tap info. odd, considering this is a "celebrity blog". anyway, just for all you people to know, this is totally safe and healthy, as the water is treated with RO (that reverse osmosis, which is what the picture shows), followed by various other treatments including ultraviolet radiation, which, horrible as it sounds, only destroys life-threatening microbes in the water. So, Sean, dont think we're all idiots, with a little research youd see that this is a great alternative than drinking groundwater which you more than likely drink, which is also heavily contaminated with microbes and heavy metals (cancer causing) which can be found in many areas. Sounds gross, but tastes great. Deal with it
I love it Perez!
This kind of water reuse is great for the environment!
The purification process may make the water for drinking, but it will still contain everyone's medications and prescriptions, including estrogens. Wonder if the breast cancer rates will skyrocket in OC in a few years??? Hmmm.
well, Singapore has been using recycled water technology since 2002. u can find out more at www.pub.gov.sg/newater
The amount of scientific idiocy on this forum is amazing. ALL water has gone through a dinosaur's butt and then every animal that came after. The planet recycles the same water over and over. The water you drink now is the same water they had thousands of years ago. filtered through animals, dirt, soil, ground, chemicals. The lakes and the ground have animals crapping in it as we speak. EVERY water is basically sewage water.
I'm glad even a republican county like OC is smart enough to take the lead in environmental friendliness in CA.
And by the way, lots of you are already drinking toilet-to-tap water, but just don't know about it.
Re: water police –
As opposed to the mercury and chemicals that of our polluted environment that has seeps into lakes and reservoirs?
singapore has been doing it for years!
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
