The US east coast gets just as much Chinese smog, but added to that is
all the gunk from the cars and coal-fired power plants and factories
of the entire rest of the USA. Flying into San Francisco from the
east, the air goes from yellow to clear as you approach the coast. I
moved here, among other reasons, because the prevailing wind is
straight off the ocean, and the pollen level is very low.

Our water comes from the Hetch Hetchy reservoir, melted snow from the
Sierras; the only poop would be from deers and bears (look up
cyclosporidium!) They run it over a bit of limestone to add some
minerals, otherwise the slight natural acidity would eat the pipes.

The pipeline from Hetch Hetchy ends at the Pulgas Water Temple

and runs down a sluce into the Crystal Springs Reservoir, a long
subduction lake directly over the San Andreas fault.
