An urban myth I'm afraid.Originally posted by Flosshilde View Post
In fact only a very small quantity of London's drinking water may have been drunk before. Any that has been will have come from Oxford or Reading where it will have been treated before being discharged into the Thames.
Although London's sewage water is not currently treated and recycled for human consumption, there are proposals to do so in the future, so the myth may well come true:
"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

There are no plans to impose a hosepipe ban despite the heatwave affecting much of the UK, the BBC has been told.
Water UK, which represents all major water companies, said there was no need to panic as reservoir levels were where they should be.

"there is some wastewater recycling that goes on naturally," says Evans, though he adds it is a tiny amount by the time it is diluted."Originally posted by LHC View Post
Accoding to homoeopathic principles that tiny amount is enough to render all the water you drink sewage.
