Editor,

I fully agree with the yuck factor of drinking treated sewage water in the letter to the editor of Victor Carboni, May 2.

Or… the state could stop letting 50% of California’s water flow out to sea and instead, say, let only 45% of water out to sea, giving residents 50% more water. I know, too early in the day for math… Regardless, it’s an easy-peasy solution that won’t cost a thing.

Or - installing community bath houses and allowing only one bath per week. We could also build communal toilets as in the military. All kinds of opportunities to save water while 50% of California's water keeps on flowing into the ocean.

As a practical matter it would pose a health hazard and not save much water not to mention who's going to take Yuck out each day?
