    Purifying water is quite standard. Furthermore, almost all purified water is purified poo water.

      I’m learning from the comments. I’m thinking poo water is recycled more often where there is water scarcity. My current town detoxifies the poo water and releases it back into a nearby river instead of reusing it as drinking water. It’s not pure water, but some regulated blend that won’t upset the river ecosystem. Lots of bacteria and other processes involved.
