look at maps of Illinois (spelling?) for sewage and fresh water plants, do
a google search for "public health sewage pollution contaminated water USA
1980-2004" and look for yourself, I just watch the shows on discovery
channel, and generally be so very glad I dont have to live in a third world
country

Actually from a health & hygiene exam I did a few years ago, were you
aware that by the time treated human waste water is returned to the

Australian water is rainwater collected in a dam, and so needs a lot less
chlorine than anything in North America, even Adelaide


Must have a bloody big annual rainfall to supply all ya Aussie cities
