Recycled Water Screw Up

In Cary, North Carolina, they are way ahead of most other cities and have run recycled water lines in their residential areas, allowing homeowners to water their lawns with recycled water. And they do it the standard way: the recycled water is in a purple pipe. But at the Jain household some mysterious foul-up happened and the recycled water was connected to the house's plumbing, while fresh drinking water was going to the lawn sprinklers. The Jain family drank the recycled water for 5 months before the mistake was uncovered. Naturally, town officials are saying the risk to the family was very, very low. But I suppose we haven't heard the last of this.
