Kids play in the parks and sometimes drink from sprinklers. What happens if a kid drinks from a sprinkler?
Just as kids may swallow some water at a beach, they could swallow some recycled water without getting sick. Adverse health effects from recycled water could appear only if it were ingested in large quantities over an extended period of time. That is why it is not intended for drinking. There are no reported cases of people getting sick from recycled water.
