No Good Option
 
#6
O_o WTF is wrong with Americans? I have had the honor of visiting an old swiss water treatment plant, and it was noted that the (partially treated) water was too human accessible because it was exposed to the outside air (through the building air filtration system) and that water treatment plant workers could access it. Similarly parts of the plant where theoretically accessible to plant workers which required replacing some seals every year or so, whereas in proper modern treatment plants that section of the equipment is sealed in concrete. One of the major sources of pollutants in the water that came out of the plant was when they are redoing the seal around the equipment, and as long as it's properly sealed it lasts for a century or so without maintenance.

Keep in mind the Swiss where upset and where phasing out access to the water for treatment plant employees, and that air from the building ventilation touched the (partially treated) water. I would not be surprised if the water that is coming out of the swiss sewage treatment plants is cleaner than American 'drinking' water.

Of course the swiss also had a problem that some of their water piping predated the first world war, and pipe that old has corrosion issues.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
