Tapping into the future
1.
Up here in the Owens Valley there was a bumper sticker that stated " Flush twice. L.A. needs the water." The joke is reality. We hope this new awareness takes some of the pressure off of our beautiful valley...
2. Reclaimed water's been in use for almost 30 years south OC. Check out Santa Margarita Water District or Irvine Ranch Water District. It's used for landscaping, industrial uses and even in restrooms where dual plumbing is installed. With one additional step it could be made to drinking water standards. If LA would reclaim there water to use for just the above mentioned uses, that would be a giant step. I'b be more worried about what's coming out of the Colorado River than water that's been treated properly.
3. After the sewer water goes through the purification process everything is stripped out but hydrogen and oxygen molecules. EVERYTHING! They have to add minerals BACK to the water so that the water doesn't pull minerals out of the pipes when it is transferred. Get with it people! And the comment about the "ingredients" of the Colorado River are spot on. We're already drinking Las Vegas toilet water today, but it doesn't go through reverse osmosis. That should REALLY make you sick!
4. If you are squeamish, you too can get a reverse osmosis treatment system under your kitchen sink. Mine has worked for years, and reduces the salty taste which nobody has mentioned here, that comes from the Colorado river.
5. All the water you drink was dinosaur pee at one time or another. And remember every few weeks they fish a dead body out of the aqueducts bringing us our water. And remember that water is a bigger part of car exhaust than CO2. Yes, some water you drink was car exhaust. Its no worse than eating food fertilized with manure.All the DWP is doing is speeding up the recycling process.
6. Those of you worried about impurities in reclaimed water, just check out the ingrediants of the Colorado River water you're drinking.
7. Jim Bynum See what UV does to E. coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacter and Citrobacter. Bob, and just where does your septic tank leach out to? I have been an O.C. resident for quite a while, and only have 2 eyes, ears, and 1 nose so far. If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Get informed.
8. Bottled water people WAKE UP! The bottled water industry is less regulated than your municipal water companies! The municipal suppliers use some of the same treatments to clean the river water, ground water, reservoir water, etc before it goes in the pipes to you. Like they said, it ain't DASANI going into the system! Bottled water is no better than municipal water it just might taste different due to mineral content and chlorine.
9. Angles' Butts!!!! HA HA HA I love it. That point is good - all water is recycled, people! Clouds, oceans, rivers, streams, polar icecaps, groundwater...it's the same water the dinosaurs were drinking! Recycled! Without the benefit of reverse osmosis or any high tech stuff we have now! Once they finish the high tech treatment, Mother Nature gets her turn to filter it through good old Mother Earth. Just like the water down there is ALREADY filtered (you know, groundwater comes from rain that has soaked through the ground.... and been filtered by the natural sediments etc., just like the treated wastewater will be!)
