Like, I thought water that comes out of a house faucet and goes into a drain was filtered and disinfected and would come back out the faucet again. Or someone’s faucet. I didn’t know until recently that water from the faucet comes from a natural fresh water source, and once it goes into the sewer system, it’s just…forever dirty and undrinkable.
Water that hits the sewer system goes through incredibly intense sanitation and filtering out of all the filth before going into the ocean as clean water, where it eventually evaporates and then rains back down into drinking catchments. Cycles round and round
But it doesn’t go directly from the sewer processing plant back into your home pipes, which is how I believed it worked for most of my life. Is what I’m trying to say.
They don’t put sewer water back into municiple water where I live, but they do usually use it for irrigation or some other non-drinking use, where it will eventually evaporate which is the ultimate filtration because it will fall as rain and return to our natural water source, (groundwater).
That the water that comes out of the tap isn’t filtered and recycled back into the water system.
Could you clarify?

Nah, thats not true at all.
