My mostly Hispanic hometown's water was mixed with recycled poo water. It was heavily filtered and processed and was probably safe... But still.
It also had a chemical taste to it.
Edit: In the US

Pretty much the standard in all of Germany except the water is usually better than any you can buy

Purifying water is quite standard. Furthermore, almost all purified water is purified poo water.

I'm learning from the comments. I'm thinking poo water is recycled more often where there is water scarcity. My current town detoxifies the poo water and releases it back into a nearby river instead of reusing it as drinking water. It's not pure water, but some regulated blend that won't upset the river ecosystem. Lots of bacteria and other processes involved.

If you think about it, all water is poo water.

I think it's important to visit the water treatment plant to see how the thing's done. They normally should be doing group visits for residents, but if they aren't allowing it, then that'd be an even bigger reason not to drink it.

In elementary, we had a field trip to the water treatment plant. It stunk... badly 🤢, but it was cool learning how it worked.

It's also genuinely interesting!
