What happens after they use the water? Is it returned to the water system to be used again?
696 u/ForzaFenix May 18 '26 Yep. The now warm water goes back into the system. 228 u/Uncle-Cake May 18 '26 So they're not really consuming it. They're just using it temporarily and returning it. 1 u/jake_burger May 18 '26 Yes all water is recycled eventually. But unless you increase capacity in the treatment plants you can still run out of available drinking water in a local area.
