Would You Drink Recycled Waste Water?
January 29th 2007 05:50
Sometimes I wonder whether or not all the Aussie politicians ever get together and watch a pirated copy of a movie like Borat. It would certainly explain their sudden inclination towards drinking recycled waste water.
But that's besides the point. The point of this post is to break some good news and some bad news, so here goes.
The good news is that Morris Iemma has today denied rumours that the people of NSW will be forced to drink recyled waste water after the state elections in March if water levels drop any further.
The bad news is for the Queenslanders. Premier Peter Beattie today indicated that they'll be drinking recycled water by the end of next year due to the drought-stricken state they are in.
I must admit, I'm no expert in the field of sewerage water purification and I don't really understand how this process is really going to work but my first thoughts about drinking recycled waste water are not exactly positive.
How can something like that be good for you? Even if it is scientifically proven, science is not always fool-proof. Or am I just an ignorant citizen?
Maybe. But that just means that the government needs to spend some money on educating us about what this water recycling process involves and how water quality can be guaranteed.
I wanna know what I'm drinking and I want quality assurance. Until then, having the choice to say 'yes' or 'no', I would definitely have to decline.
What would you do?
