I think i have found the problem with our differing points of view.
all of my information on sewage discharge is from Navy courses held
by Navy hazardous materials coordinators. Apparently the Navy is
held to a higher standard than municipal systems. Since everything
they were saying is you could literally take a glass full of the
discharge and drink it and it be potable. I was under the
impression that all systems were held to the same standard.<br>
<br>
Also are you saying that the ammounts we pay don't cover the costs
of delivery & treatment? If so please explain the Privately
held companies that do either or both of these items? they do
exist. not all municipal systems are owned by the city. <br>

I do stand by what I said I am not trying to start an
argument, but a discussion with a differing point of view
never hurt anyone. Who knows we may shine a light on
something none of us expected.<br>

Differing points of view are welcome and can be very useful to
bring out flaws in others' thinking. But as far as I can tell
your point has been that overconsumption of water is o.k.
because<br>
(a) it creates more jobs, and<br>
(b) water is purifiable<br>
<br>
I don't think much of that argument, frankly. Or perhaps I
didn't understand your argument?<br>
<br>
It is premised on the notion that the infrastructure and
investment required to handle the excess water so
consumed/polluted/wasted is something we can easily afford.
I'm not sure about that. There are a lot of problems and needs
demanding attention, resources, money, creative solutions. <br>
