According to a release, the program \u201cwould allow for water systems to add wastewater that has been treated to levels meeting or exceeding all drinking water standards to their potable supplies.\u201d They call it \u201cdirect potable reuse.\u201d They say it gives a \u201cclimate-resilient\u201d water supply.

In fact, the release says it can turn that sewage into drinking water \u201cin a matter of hours.\u201d
