Enticing people to drink recycled water, however, requires getting past what experts call the “yuck” factor. efforts in the 1990s to develop water reuse in san diego and los angeles were beaten back by activists who denounced what they called, devastatingly, “toilet to tap.” los angeles built a $55 million purification plant in the 1990s, but never used it to produce drinking water; the water goes to irrigation instead.
but with the special purification plant, which has been operating since 2008, orange county swung people to the idea of drinking recycled water. the county does not run its purified water directly into drinking water treatment plants; instead, it sends the water underground to replenish the area’s aquifers and to be diluted by the natural water supply. this environmental buffer seems to provide an emotional buffer for consumers as well.
