Judging by the comments at the end of this article in the Trib, everybody thinks it is a bad idea.
The article states the waste water that is evidently already dumped into rivers and bays would have to be treated to drinking-water standards before it could be put into the aquifer, which begs the question: Why not just use it for drinking water right after you treat it to be … drinking water?
Uh-huh, that is what I thought, because I am betting it isn't truly drinkable at that point, but if any of you scientists or politicians want to prove me wrong then show up with a gallon of freshly treated shit and be my guest as you gulp it down.
