Read the following paragraph from "resistance to civil government' by henry david
thoreau:
nis american government.-what is it but a tradition, though a recent
one, endeavoring to transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each
instant losing some of its integrity? it has not the vitality and force of a
single living man, for a single man can bend it to his will. it is a sort of
wooden gun to the people themselves. but it is not the less necessary for
this; for the people must have some complicated machinery or other, and
hear its din, to satisfy that idea of government which they have.
governments show thus how successfully men can be imposed upon,
even impose on themselves, for their own advantage. it is excellent, we
must all allow. yet this government never of itself furthered any
enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way. it does not
keep the country free. it does not settle the west. it does not educate. the
character inherent in the american people has done all that has been
accomplished, and it would have done somewhat more, if the government
had not sometimes got in its way for government is an expedient, by
which men would fain succeed in letting one another alone, and, as has
been said, when it is most expedient, the governed are most let alone by it

many were disgusted, nauseated and shook their heads with disapproval upon finding out about the recycling of water process. however, they do not seem to understand that this process actually saves water.

although individuals may argue that it is unhealthy, and or unsafe to drink water that is "from toilet to tap" , the water is 100% safe to drink and involves forcing the water across a membrane, which "removes   any impurities, including viruses, pharmaceuticals and dissolved minerals" , according to paul rozin, a psychology professor who studies revulsion.

i agree that that the thought of drinking water that once ran through someones kitchen sink isn't quite appealing, but recycled wastewater is safe to drink. it also saves water. "the city produces nine million gallons a day" claims russell schreiber, the city’s director of public works.

recycled waste water has absolutely no health concerns whatsoever. when wastewater goes into a system, it's absorbed back into the ground. thus, it goes into a sewer system, then goes through a treatment process that removes contaminants before being released. nonetheless, there is no problem in drinking water that has been recycled.

"in drought-ed california, there are six state agencies that use wastewater that comes from an intellectual property source," according to the university of california, riverside. studies show that this water is completely safe to drink, however, it still doesn't mean people are going to happily pour it in a water glass.

researchers hope it "may make consumers more amenable to drinking recycled wastewater," extraordinarily, women who have a higher "disgust reaction" and make most consumer purchasing decisions.
