Off Topic- Plumbing question

jwblue · Oct 5, 2005

Is the sewer water that goes into the toilet the same as the water that goes into the faucet?

If it isn't, is sewer water unsafe? We had a pipe burst. If it is sewer water do I need to throw out everything in my bathroom?

Regular tap water goes INTO the toilet, but "sewer water" is essentially what comes out.

Thanks guys.

I am 99% sure that the water was unused sewer water. It is clear. I believe I am ok.

thught for sure this was going to be a thread of a "personal" nature....thank god it wasn't....

Depends on where you live actually. In some towns here in Florida they used "reclaimed" water for toilets/sprinklers.

sprinklers YES<, but unless your talking about a trailer park(lol) I think it cannot be true that ANY reclaimed water can run throgh toilets,, there is still a health issue with reclaimed water,,,

are you sure about that ace??

all the best
