Will you drink recycled / desalinated Water?

There is every chance you are drinking recycled water anyhow! Water doesn't appear from nowhere... some drinking water comes from boreholes which should be decent quality as the water has filtered through many layers of rock, but other water can be from rivers and canals and reservoirs. Reservoir water is made up from rainwater which will have been previously evaporated from the earths surface and obviously river water and canal water can be made up from water discharged from industrial processes etc... The key is that the water is processed properly, it is almost irelevant where the source water is from as long as it has been treated to a high standard. So the question is not really 'would you drink it' as the vast majority of the population actually are on a daily basis... the only concern that I have is that it is not wasted...

Of course I would drink recycled water. People who are able to drink recycled drinking water are participating in priviledge, more priviledge than many people on this planet have. Everytime somebody has access to clean tap water, and then buys bottled water instead, this is an act of elitism. =( I am grateful to have clean tap water and even recycled water. I think its really awful that the Australian govt. knew more than 10 years ago about the water shortages and didn't do more to conserve water and impliment cleaner environmental practices. =( I'm really worried about the bacteria stuff... I'm glad that australia at least has the resources to filter the water...

i would drink that kind of water,why not?i think in singapore they use recycled water.I have been going to singapore and I like drinking their water.I even get water straight from the faucet and use it to drink.

Ive drunk desalinated water in the canary islands...which belong to spain...and its untasty to drink...nobody there drinks that water even though its possible to do it...they use it to wash, cook, brush teeth etc, but buy bottled water to drink.
