[QUOTE="baleflipper, post: 906263, member: 16896"] In regards to treating sewage water to reuse. I spent 43 yrs working as an Electrician to support my cows and farm. The last 20 years were mostly water and waste water treatment plants with an occasional power plant remodel. In the early 90s I worked on a waste water treatment plant in Austin as electrical superintendant. We did an experimental project to reclaim water. The water coming out of the finished product pipe was cleaner than the water that the upstream water plant took in to process. I can only say what my experience has taught me. The water in most rivers is picked up upstream of the town ,treated and used by people,The sewage is released after treatment down stream of that town.Next town down river does the same. In effect water is all ready being recycled. The city of Austin and the LCRA had a law suit over the city not putting the recycled water back into the river.LCRA said the water was only rented to the City and if it was not put back in the river the next town down stream would come up short on water. The City of Austin and the LCRA came to a settlement.The reclaimation plant was dismantled. Austin Built another fresh water plant up stream with a water allotment to cover the amount that the city wanted. The LCRA got into waste water treatment for a while. The reason was there are many rural water districts that pump water out of the aquifer. If that water is directed through sewage treatment plants to enter the Colorado river this gives LCRA more water to sell to towns down stream. They have since decided to get out of the waste water plant business. In my opion the people working in water and waste water keep us all safe from massive disease out breaks. They are most often under paid and over worked. [/QUOTE]
