I still think that since only a minuscule amount of municipal water is for ingestion, it really doesn't make much sense to purify all of it as if it were all consumed unless it's really cheap to do so. Here in Scottsdale Arizona, "brown" water and canal water is used for many things including irrigating crops and watering golf courses. I don't think much water is "wasted".
