Winners and losers of the week: Rays on top, toilet-to-tap not so much

The Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday tallied their 15th win of the season. With just three losses, they are at the top of the American League-East division and have a better record than any team in Major League Baseball.

But things aren’t looking so sunny for the city of Tampa’s PURE program, or as critics have dubbed it, toilet-to-tap.

With controversy over the program swirling, the city is now looking at an alternative that would send treated wastewater to Tampa Bay Water, rather than residents’ taps.

Tampa Bay Water, which supplies the region’s drinking water, was non-committal to the idea.
