Why don’t municipal water treatment plants use a giant version of Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Appliances?

First, the initial cost would be prohibitive and your water bills would have to become exorbitant. Consider the fact that less than 2% of the water supplied to a community is used for human consumption. Most is used for bathing, laundering, watering lawns, fire fighting, etc. It would be wasteful to have this water undergo the same extensive and expensive treatment procedures as the water we drink. Even if we could afford to treat all municipal water it would pick up new contaminants from the water distribution pipes and home copper and galvanized plumbing. It seems obvious that the most logical approach to providing contaminant free water is treating it in the home at the point of use.
