Living The Golden Dream

The drought is so severe that "the prospect of sewer water being treated and redirected back into faucets is the future of California if the water crisis continues":

Toilet-to-tap technology is already here. Two water districts in the Bay Area — the Dublin San Ramon Services District and the Santa Clara Valley Water District — are testing systems that filter sewer water and purify it to the point that it can be consumed by the public. Orange County has a system in place that recycles 100 million gallons of wastewater a day — enough to quench the thirst of 850,000 people — by treating it and injecting it into aquifers.

Comments:

1) This winter's El Nino rains can't come soon enough.

2) "TTT", for toilet-to-tap, is an easy-to-remember acronym.

3) The Bay Area is the leader in trying out new technology, but I'm glad Orange County went first.

4) In California "living like a dog" is more than just a metaphor.
