Would you drink treated wastewater, aka sewage?
It might sound gross, but when we hit the streets of Washington, D.C., the answers surprised us.
In the latest episode of Water Street Questions, host Travis Loop asked people outside the Reservoir Center: Would you drink treated wastewater?
Most smiled and said yes. Not reluctantly—confidently. Why? Because the word treated made all the difference. People trust science. They believe in technology. And they know that clean water doesn’t have to start pure—it just has to be made that way.
One person said it best: “You’ll need a better marketing campaign.”
This episode is a reminder: the future of water isn’t just about pipelines and treatment plants—it’s about perception, trust, and the power of good questions.
