L.A. Prepares for ‘Toilet-to-Tap’; Will Recycle 60% of Wastewater
LOS ANGELES, California — Local water authorities are preparing to implement new “toilet-to-tap” technology by 2032 that could see 60% of L.A.’s wastewater recycled rather than being flushed out to sea.
Three years ago, Breitbart News visited the “demonstration” project at what is now known as the A.K. Warren Water Resource Facility, where a large proportion of L.A. County’s wastewater is treated.
At that time, innovations in reverse osmosis technology made it possible to purify wastewater to a higher quality than typical drinking water.

As this reporter wrote at the time:
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California has partnered with the Sanitation Districts in a new project to test the feasibility of treating and reusing a large percentage of the county’s water that is currently discharged to sea.
I was the first reporter to be allowed a look at a new demonstration project called the Advanced Purification Center, which, when operational, could result in a full-scale recycled water plant that would purify up to 150 million of the 250 million gallons per day that flow through the [facility].
