California could vote on turning sewage into drinking water next week
By Heather Hunter December 13, 2023 07:23 PMThe California State Water Resources Control Board is tentatively planning a vote next week to approve a landmark water regulation that would turn sewage into drinking water across California.
The rules would allow "toilet to tap," converting water from toilet and shower drains into drinking water.
The project is an effort to tackle climate change and the problem of water droughts .
Currently, the sewage water gets treated and released into oceans, rivers, water parks, or used to irrigate fields in California.
The plan would take the wastewater and have it treated at a higher level and then send it back into the main water supply over the course of hours to days.
