The test for that should be really, really simple. You fill up a gallon jug with the proposed treated water, hand it to the CEO of the company, and they chug it, in front of the judge/court.

It not treated for human consumption. That would be brain dead and take a great deal more energy which is bad for the environment. It just typically far cleaner than the water it is behind drained into. But ya you likely could drink it just fine.
