I knew it! I WAS Leonardo in a previous lifetime!

This is a great opportunity for promoting space exploration and
utilization.  Rely on people's squeamishness.  These people who pay
good money for bottled water rather than drink icky old tap water
would be a great marketing opportunity for water that is guaranteed
never to have been anyone's urine.  Nor to have ever been part of a
cockroach, maggot, worm, or slug.

Instead of having a picture of a 32 degree glacier on the bottle,
there would be a picture of a minus 400 degree Kuiper belt object.
Or perhaps one of the countless trillions of ice shards that makes
up Saturn's rings.

If this trend catches on widely enough, it could result in rising
sea levels, and flooding of low lying cities.  The solution to this
problem is yet more space exploitation.  Launch our waste water into
space.  Perhaps set aside a "toilet planet".  Or simply dump it into
the sun, as has been proposed for nuclear waste.

Imagine how exciting toilet training will be when pressing the flush
lever causes a rocket to shoot up from behind the commode.
