Here is the NEWater website by the Public Utilities Board in Singapore. Mostly propagandaist, but check it out.

And I laughed out loud upon learning that the stated objective is to carry an email to its destination - for the benefit of a poor little Indian girl whose father can't work because he burned his hands while at his job at the match factory.

And she needs to walk 3 (wait, now 4) hours each way for clean water. Maybe Peter should carry some packets from this webserver

Singapore's tap water is safe for consumption.

And the Singaporeans dub it NEWater.
