The goal was to show that dirty water – even that flushed from toilets in a major city – can be made safe to drink while helping conserve the globe’s dwindling potable water supply.“Certainly we do expect some eyebrows raised and the yuck factor is real,” said Christine O’Grady, project co-ordinator at Advancing Canadian Wastewater Assets, or ACWA.
Municipal waste water normally runs through a complex system involving screens, filters, microbes and ultraviolet light to make it clean enough to return to the river. “Then we said, ‘Well, we can make beer,’” O’Grady said. “We have all the technology. We have the capacity on all sides.”“They’re so progressive and cool. They were all in,” said O’Grady.
“The big thing for us was to try to make sure that the beer tasted the exact same as our other normal Village Blonde and we achieved that,” he said. “We’re confident.” Bob Sandford, Global Water Futures Chair at the United Nations University’s Institute for Water, Environment and Health, said he believes the “yuck factor” can be overcome.
Are the $&^$*( crazy? On top, they have the nerve to show a mountain range that produces pure, fresh, only once through dinosaurs' urinary system water, millions of years ago. I'd say to them; drink it yourselves.
Hope they like going broke
