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!

I know that's kinda how it works anyway, but it's still gross to think about. I wonder if this explains why most people are full of shit?
girl from texas is first
lol how lame!
I hope they all switch to bottled water!
The thought behind this in terms of helping the environment is great.
But it's still kinda gross…
I've been hoping those Republican O.C. bitches would eat shit and die. My prayers are finally being answered.
Disgusting! I guess I won't be drinking their water. Hope this doesn't happen in San Diego! *Fingers crossed*
haha "peepoo" all those lil oc girls will be buyin up the bottled water from afar!
its not new, and its hightime your wasteful country got its ass in gear and started reusing stuff
thats fuckin gross!
Did you read the article?
"The finished product, which district managers say exceeds drinking water standards, will not flow directly into kitchen and bathroom taps; state regulations forbid that….Instead it will be injected underground, with half of it helping to form a barrier against seawater intruding on groundwater sources and the other half gradually filtering into aquifers that supply 2.3 million people, about three-quarters of the county."
ewwwww
HOLY POOP!
AND THATS WHY I ONLY DRINK 100% PURE NATURAL SPRING WATER!
This concept really isn't new. I heard about it while I was in high school, atleast 10 years ago. I don't see what it has to do with celebrities though.
REMINDS ME OF SINGAPORE'S NEW WATER PROGRAM. NOTHING NEW THERE.
if you guys knew anything about water treatment you'd know that we drink basically sewage anyway. it all gets recycled into the same body of water. stick to reading about britney spears idiots. get an education
i'm from Georgia, actually, and it really sucks. it's rained twice since school started and we're having so much trouble with it. they've started limiting water hose usage in my hometown Decatur. we really should try this!
Re: Sean – no, Cali. is full of geniuses, it is called conservation.. DUMBASS, go give Perez a blow-job!!!! ASS-HOLE
Tell me FATASS, how is it funny that Georgia is drought-plagued?? You are the biggest DICKHEAD in the world…you fag
it's like that in Europe. We drink that kind of water and there is no difference with the water in bottles…it's the same!
I love drinking pee straight out of the tap. Nothing tastier than pee from a pee pee!
This is really gross…. Guess the celebs will be drinking their own poo water.
Now, we no longer have to wonder what exactly is in Lindsay's water bottle: Vodka and Poo Poo Water.
Sad….
◄P}zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz◘}
Y don't they juzt kill uz already, talk about dizeaze, zick☻

seriously, what does twocupped mean?
……OH MY FUCKIN' GOD!!! THERE HASN'T BEEN A SHOCKER LIKE THIS AT THE MAGIC KINGDOM SINCE MICKEY DIVORCED MINNIE: THE JUDGE ASKED, "YOU WANT A DIVORCE BECAUSE SHE IS INSANE?" MICKEY, "HELL NO. I SAID I WANT A DIVORCE BECAUSE SHE IS FUCKIN' GOOFY!" DOOOOOOOH!
……OR……..SINCE CAPT. HOOK DIED OF JOCK ITCH! OUCH!!!!!
That's just gross
it might be new on the west coast, but water treatment plants are numerous throughtout the east coast. To all you westies that like to go to vegas, vegas has been processing sewage for drinking water since the days of howard hughes….now hush up and enjoy a nice warm glass of water…LOL
That's disgusting…….can you say cholera??? Here in Coral Gables, FL the water is gross already….I never drink it. When you see things swirling around in your water or when you leave a glass, come back, and there is a thin film on top….its not good. Municipal water is disgusting.

We are idiots reading about Britney….and you are reading about what??? We are here for the same thing, we have a break and we are checking out the word on the street.
Thanks Dude for covering this!It is SOOOOOO awesome! Did you know the water is so pure after the process that they have to put minerals back in it to be able to transport it through the pipes? The web site for it is www.gwrsystem.com.
You might want to clarify that it's Orange County, California. Most people assume that, but I live in Orange County, Florida (which is consists mostly of Orlando) right next to Disney World Magic Kingdom. So I thought it affected me!
Thanks for drawing attention to this Perez.
To the "yuck" comment people, where does your tap water come from? Where does your toilet flush go?
I think georgia, or anywhere located in that embarrassment known as the south, has enough problems without drinking their own excrement.
.
Maybe they could pray for rain again. If that doesn't work, I could find some time to piss in their mouths.
Orange County California is a very rich area and they can afford a high local tax hike to pay for such an expensive water purification system. Georgia, on the other hand is not Orange County, Thank God! I love Georgia but could drop the OC off the map and be fine.
Agnacious, where are you from? I'm from Georgia and I think that was really rude of you to say. You don't know everyone from the South and yet you are completely crude in your comments. What happened to being open-minded?
Gross… and beyond unsanitary… even if they are going to do some super processing filter magic…
Re: Agnacious –
and in what state and trailer park do you hail from? thought so……..us in Louisiana are praying for Georgia and hope they get rain soon.
oh, and to that guy in post #39: If you actually could read well, you would see that perez isn't making fun of Georgia, just making a suggestion. i love how people like you HATE him so much yet you can't pull yourself away from checking HIS blog every day……hypocrite!
also, for all of you screaming "ewwww": when i saw the headline, i said that myself, but unlike most of you, i actually have a brain and read the WHOLE thing, and anyone that has been through elementary school could tell you that the tap water you drink in any town or city usually comes from a treatment plant where sewage is cleaned up, strained, purified, and chlorined. so, yeah, say "ewwww" all you want while you drink down your treated water…..
…….."THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH"???? HMMMMMMMMMM……MAYBE THEY SHOULD CHANGE THAT TO, "HOME OF THE DRINKABLE GOLDEN SHOWER!" EWWWWWWWWWWW
Eww this post reminded me to Jenkim. Thanks Perez.
Re: Disco Jen –
Wake up! Two terms to familarize yourself with: 'water cycle' and 'technology'.
The same water has been doing the rounds since Earth formed!! That's the water cycle.
Technology is what 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. Yes, they drink the same water over and over again!

This is already what' happening in most urban/suburban areas. It's been going on for decades. It's fine. You all drink it too.
one of the first states in the country??
I hail from (stand please) The Land of Hope and Glory.
.
I did go to the south and I met many people, and from this experience, I dismiss the lot of you.
.
You will never know the glory of the empire.
.
And kimmy, I even went to new orleans for a laugh. Nice smell, and such culture. We don't have trailers… you're projecting. Our poor are still respectable which is more than I can say for even the "less than disgusting" southeners I met.
Dismissed.
And why is this so special? Countries all over the world have been doing this for centuries. The quality in several countries even exceeds that of bottled water.
You dolts didn't know this is how it's already done in most of the country?!
…….I SUPPOSE THEY WILL HAVE TO CLARIFY SOME OF THEIR CLASSIC MOVIE HITS: "OLD YELLER" MAY NOW BE DISNEY'S SIGNATURE {{{DRINK!}}} EWWWWWW
…….AND……"WINNIE THE POOH!" WELL, FUCK WE WONT EVEN GO THERE!
Where do you think all of our water comes from? We always reuse the same water.
This has been done for AGES already.. I remember in high school, I think 10th grade we took a trip to a water treatment center and they showed us the entire process. So at least in Cedar Falls and Waterloo, Iowa.. they already do it. I don't get why this is such news! Obviously it wouldn't be done if it weren't safe.
I am moving, fo' shizzle.
California gets most of there water from Colorado…the state purchases it.
California does not have enough water to sustain itself. Even when conditions are perfect.
Georgia is experiencing a drought due to natural climatic trends.
We all need to be environmentally aware whether you understand scientific data or not. It really doesn't matter if global warming is man made or a natural trend
"counties" not "county's"
This is brilliant and about time, we are all wasting our precious water! Although it sounds nasty, it's a step in the right direction for preserving our water systems. Way to go OC!
Bitch Twocupped means drinking poop from a cup. Watch a video called "2girls1cup" and you will understand.
I have lived there in the past. Orange County is void of culture, because its a regional area. Those people can drink their own shit, im OK with that.

Bottled Water anyone???????????????
I live in Irvine, it's nothing new actually. We use reclaim water to water lawns and such which increases drinking water for drinking.
Besides the purification process is so intense that it can become distilled, but isn't since we really don't need to have very clean water to use it.
GA doesnt want poop water thank you very much!
THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT IN THE NETHERLANDS FOR AGES!!! THE TAPWATER THERE IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD, REALLY, IT TASTES LIKE EVIAN.
WHAT YOU FLUSH TODAY YOU WILL DRINK TOMORROW!!!
Is it for real? That's not conservation, that's abusing the residents.
I always buy bottle water. I don't drink water from the tap in Cali. But using sewer water to take shower is gross too. Sometimes you do get water in your eyes and mouth.
fucking gross…. we have plenty of water… how about concentrating on getting salt out of salt water before resorting to trying to get shit out of shit water…. WTF! this is not conservation, and the purification methods go against anything considered "conservation". Jesus, work on salt water, idiots.
Re: Georgia
Or they could just piss directly into each others' cracker mouths!
You guys should check your sources… New York drinks their sewage water as well — they have a water purification system (but it sucks and thats why our water smells like poop). Hate to break it to you, but, Orange County isnt the center of the universe…
orange county has been drinking recycled sewage for years. most of the water in the santa ana river comes from sewage plants.
Who knew perez cared for things other then himself and for ruining other people's lives. I actually just gained the littlest bit of respect for him for caring enough to read about real current events and our environment.
who knew Perez cares about something other then himself and ruining other people's lives! Just gained an ounce of respect for him for caring about REAL current events and the enviroment.
perez, shame on you describing conservation in a negative light. it's great that OC is taking progressive sacrifices and steps toward sustainability and they should be applauded!
Julie, actually NYC has a system of reserviors that suppy water to NYC and NYC water has been rated some of the best in The COUNTRY! The reservoirs are located through out the Catskill mountians and the Hudson Valley.
This has been going on for a very long time. Orange County has been pumping re-used water back into the aquifers for years because of how deep they are. Also, they have to do it because they are so close to the sea and the salt water can easily get into their wells.
How will they know if there are any negative effects to this? The people in the O.C. are already crazy or far from normal….
its not tap water its crapwater
This is such a great idea! Weird, but good. After nearly a century of So. Cal relying on H2O from the rest of CA and destroying massive parts of the state (Owens Valley and Mono Lake for example), it's about time that the water dept. does this.
I BELIEVE A LOT OF COMMENTORS ON THIS SITE DRINK A LOT OF SEWAGE WATER TOO BECAUSE THEY SAY A LOT OF SHIT
While they are the first to use this exact system, there are other systems used throughout the country that currently do this. It is standard to reuse sewage water called "grey water" although the amount reused varies.
So the people grossed out by this need to know they are already drinking re-purified water.
Perez,
Just so you know the New York Times article explicitly stated that this water is NOT going directly to tap. It is being pumped underground to prevent ocean-water from adulterating the groundwater. People in California will NOT be drinking clean toilet water.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO ADMIT TOO MANY FUCKING PEOPLE LIVE IN CALIFORNIA AND WE NEED TO FORM OUR OWN SEPERATE COUNTRY SO RESOURCES AND GROWTH CAN FINALLY BE PROPERLY MANAGED
I do however appreciate that you weaved an important domestic issue into your feed. You have great power to do good in this country.
Thanx Perez!
so what? london does this 11 times over
