The treatment technology is similar to the process used for desalinating seawater, but recycling wastewater requires less energy and is less costly than turning saltwater into freshwater. Polhemus said the costs for purifying wastewater will probably be about half the costs of desalinating ocean water.
I call bullshit. There is no way filtering out piss, shit, vomit, dissolved pills, and drugs is any less expensive than boiling and filtering fucking seawater.
It might by the time you factor in all the environmental challenges.
When they built the desalination plant in San Diego County it got delayed by years from all the environmental challenges. Then they shut down the nuke plant they were depending on to power the thing.

And I believe that plant uses reverse osmosis. Which is basically just a fancy word for REALLY FUCKING BIG FILTER.
Even they don't boil the water.
