But..this:

"In Orange County and other facilities, mixing the output with groundwater is a largely unnecessary, confidence-building measure to allay public fears. But as awareness improves, operators hope to move from indirect to direct potable reuse, which would bring down energy use and costs, while avoiding the counter-intuitive step of re-contaminating purified water."

Yeah, I really, really, like the re-contaminated aspect of our drinking water. Makes me feel better to imagine the natural filtration adding the minerals and dirt I expect in my water. Lol.

Do you live in OC? Seriously, my biggest complaint is the odor near any of our water facilities. They smell just like a sewer would, I imagine.

Thanks for the link!
