This city is exploring an unconventional solution to water scarcity: sewage
In the desert city of St. George, Utah, growth and drought are pushing leaders toward an unlikely solution: sewage. With the Virgin River dwindling and the population booming, local officials are investing over a billion dollars in infrastructure to clean and reuse wastewater—eventually even for drinking. It’s a shift born of necessity, and St. George isn’t alone. Across the West, water scarcity is forcing cities to rethink waste, proving that what once flowed downstream might soon be the key to future survival.
