I wouldn't have a bar of it as drinking water as I've seen what it's like in the states, our standards may be higher but I'm not willing to risk it but it could be used to fill our dams then the water could be used to flush out our streams and tributaries which in the end would help flush out the Swan River thus gettin rid of these nasty algal blooms we have been having

I agree I draw the line at recycled sewerage water to drink.
But Prince Charles recycles it through plants and different ponds and it is used to water the garden.
The algae blooms will recede and I have seen a machine on TV that they use on the water to get rid of the algae!!!
