Drought-Stricken Texas Town Taps Urine For Water
An anonymous reader writes "Texas is in the midst of a drought so severe that local water management teams have decided to distribute reclaimed wastewater (aka urine). The Colorado River Municipal Water District in West Texas has broken ground on a $13 million plant that will capture treated wastewater and ready it for redistribution. After being run through microfilters and undergoing reverse osmosis, slimy sewage is cleansed with peroxide and ultraviolet light. This intense process ensures that any pharmaceuticals and carcinogens are removed, and that the H2O stands up to drinking water regulations."
See! Were having to drink our own piss. Do you really want Rick Peery for president?!?
Having to work for a living is the root of all evil.
They should bottle and market it. First we had astronaut ice cream. Now we have astronaut water!
This is TEXAS! We don't have a drought, we just have a God-induced anti-flood. He loves us SO much he wants to show us that, unlike in the age of Noah when a flood was the only thing that would wash the world clean of the heathens that overran it, we are SO loved by our Lord that he has taken away all of the water in a demonstration of how safe we are here on our planet!
Climate change? That's for those Pussies in Seattle.
I think what I'll do is develop a grass that only grows an inch and a quarter tall, and then retire on the hush-money from lawn mower companies.
When our name is on the back of your car, we're behind you all the way!
Does it the water burn when it gets out the tap?
Only if your faucet has Gonorrhea. ;-)
