SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) When a toilet is flushed in California, the water can end up in a lot of places: An ice skating rink in Ontario, ski slopes around Lake Tahoe, farmland in the Central Valley. And coming soon kitchen faucets.
California regulators have approved new rules allowing water agencies to recycle wastewater and reintroduce it into the drinking water system. This significant step is aimed at addressing the state s ongoing struggle for a reliable source of drinking water amidst frequent droughts. While California has been using recycled wastewater for non-drinking purposes, this decision marks a shift in public opinion and will require stringent treatment processes to ensure the water meets drinking water quality standards.
