Debating the 7 sets of kidneys myth ...

Interesting ongoing discussion on the myth that the drinking water in London has passed through 7 sets of kidneys before it is consumed:

- the initial question.

- it's a plausible improbability.

- no, it's a statement of fact.

- kidneys are irrelevant - quality is the issue.

- emotive language with incorrect implications.

- poetic license at best.

and - desalination is preferred.

Even those in the water industry are unable to agree on this myth.

What is clear is that the "London" example used by Toowoomba City Council is a "bad practice" example now discredited by the numerous reports of what is actually in the water ...
