You think recycled water is good? The link to this article was posted elsewhere.

I do not believe that all the toxins from hospitals etc. are completely removed.

looks like your debate worked evl

cap'n bligh has done a backflip on the recycling idea.

something fishy if you ask me and a clear lack of vision once more by a government.

It's not much of a back down. They are still intending to put the recycled water IN the water supply. Just not all the time.

I'm perfectly happy for it to be used by industry, that uses the vast majority of the water. Like they do in Singapore, a city they keep using as an example.

I also agree, below a certain level in the dams it should be added. Better that than nothing, I just won't drink it.

What, Singapore DOESN'T drink the stuff?

And I always thought bottled water was ridiculous. The pricks must have shares in it.

it always amazes me that people are not prepared to drink recycled water but it is fine to pump it into our rivers and waterways then go swimming and fishing etc.

is there really a difference.
