Several Texas water districts send their recycled toilet flow to customers as new drinking water.

Wichita Falls Texas has built a 13-mile pipeline that connects its wastewater plant directly to the plant where water is purified for drinking.

Big Spring Water District, recycles sewage water for drinking water in the cities of Big Spring, Snyder, Midland and Odessa for more than a year. El Paso also recycles sewage water.

Other places where toilet waste water makes up a percentage of drinking water:
Singapore
San Mateo County, CA
San Diego, CA
Perth, Australia
Orange County, CA including Disneyland
Los Angeles, CA has their system on stand-by in case of a severe drought
Las Vegas, NV

Having seen first-hand what a shit-hole Fiji is, it amuses me that Stewart and Lynda Resnik are able to sell plastic bottles of water imported from Fiji in grocery stores.

A museum visitor drinking water from a perfectly clean toilet fountain at the Science Exploratorium in San Francisco, California. Recycling water is way cheaper than pumping it in from far away.
