A toast to Kevin Drum – with sewer water

Since January, Orange County, Calif., home of the Political Animal blogger, has been using recycled wastewater as part of its water supply.

Actually, the water, as recycled, is cleaner than Poland Springs bottled water. But, for psychological reasons, rather than being directly added to the water supply at that point, it’s injected into the county’s aquifers, in the process, actually becoming dirtier.
