You wish.

No, it usually comes from a river. And guess where the waste water from a sewage treatment plant goes?

Right back into the same river, only downstream. And that's where the next city down the line picks it up.

That water gets recycled multiple times on the way to the ocean, by each city on the river.

That's not a bad thing! But the water can hardly be called distilled.




Where I live the river water comes from snow packs. And nobody's allowed to discharge treated sewage into rivers. Gross.
