Maybe it time to stop drinking water

[Resident]

We are an island surrounded by water. It's salt water so it needs desalination first.


Why do we only have ONE desalination plant in the UK? (Beckton, London, produces 150 million litres per day)

As far i know it treated and then piped into the ocean

The sewage pipe work and clean water pipe work is completely different pipe works so i can't see how they could do this even if they wanted to

And they don't even have enough chemicals to do that thanks to Brexit.

 

[Freefaller]

Sewage works only treat the water to make it clean to go back into rivers and local reservoirs. Water supply has its own process. But as people have said most water is generally recycled but will have gone through natural filtration as well.

 

[ltron]

I've just thought of the government's justification: take personal responsibility, buy bottled water! Do you really expect us to do our jobs? Plebs.

 

[ltron]

I hope they don't do this in Wales.

 

[Calabi]

yea filtered by the earth.

I wouldn't trust any of the water companies when it comes to treated sewage directly entering the water supply lines....
look how they all skimp on costs, do the bare minimum and dump in the sea/rivers because it's cheaper than building temporary storage.

you really trust them to filter water 100%? what if they can get away with 95% and a few people get dheli belly or whatever.... if it saves a few million and they can get away with a small fine or whatever you know they would just do it.


before anyone comes in with "but nasa filters pee etc" yea and I'm sure to a ridiculously high standard with nothing left to chance to save on costs...

Yeah I'm sorry but I wouldn't trust any of these private companies to handle something like this. They'll do the bare minimum like you say, and then something will eventually go wrong, probably in a completely preventable way and people will get sick or possibly even die and the company will get a tiny slap on the wrist and then things will continue on as normal until the next incident.

I was going to start drinking water but after that I think I’ll stick to beer

if tories are still in power they will just lower the quality levels needed so these companies don't get fined, the owner has to donate to the party though

Made from water.

They used to do that in days or yore when water was foul and beer was weaker, i guess the small amount of alcohol killed the bacteria.

Yup for hundreds of years people use to drink beer as it effectively cleaned the water.

And if you look back at when the water supplies got contaminated and the people that drank the beer were fine whilst every else died

TLDR: Drink beer not water.

Beer is made from hops
Hops are plants
Beer is a salad

its not the alcohol killing the bacteria, beer is boiled to sterilise it before it’s fermented and it’s easy to taste and see any after infections. This is one of the reasons people used to like glass bottoms in their tankards.

make it weak enough and it’s still hydrating. Used to be called “small beer”.

the only problem is it’s very energy intensive, so beer is going to get very expensive.

Just drink beer

And they don't even have enough chemicals to do t thanks to Brexit.

I stubbed by toe this morning, bloody brexit!

Deny it all you want, there is a shortage of chemicals in GB to treat water due to difficulties arising from Brexit.

 

[Mel_P]

Don't forget that all water (H and O) was created 13 billion years ago! There is no new water!

 

[Ayahuasca]

Just LOL if you aren’t flushing your toilet with Pellegrino.

The local farms have been spraying human **** over the fields for years and apart from the odd bit of sweetcorn in the carrots, it has not been a problem.

Was trying to find the Grand Designs episode where a system of lakes, gravel and reeds meant that the waste was always being recycled.
