Aus: Treated effluent back on table for water supply

And they are going to remove synthetic hormones from birth control, natural hormones, medications and human viruses how, exactly?

THE state government will again consider introducing treated sewage into Sydney’s drinking water supply as a means of meeting the city’s future water needs, even though the idea was rejected by the Labor government five years ago.

Water experts say community perceptions remain a sticking point and the public will need to be persuaded that drinking purified wastewater is a safe, viable option.

But concerns about energy use associated with desalination, and environmental concerns about building additional dams, have propelled the unpalatable option into future planning.
