Southern California Drought Forces More Conservation
If only our Water Reclamation District would recycle the billions of gallons of sewage treatment plant effluent we currently dump into the ocean, we wouldn’t have to worry about the piddling savings you cite; we wouldn’t be making a desert of the Owens Valley; we wouldn’t be changing the ecology of San Francisco Bay and we wouldn’t be making the South Bay sea breeze redolent of septic sewage effluent from the inadequate primary (maybe) treatment it now receives.
