Hell couldn’t California put a big copper nozzle on a hose coming out of
the ocean and end all your drought problems?

Copper has long had an alchemists' claim of curing arthritis, ague, the
blahs, etc.  Hence those ubiquitous Copper-Fit commercials for wearables
that infuse the metal into socks, tea-cozies, etc., without actually
mentioning its "curative" powers.  (The FDA is listening.)  It's nice to
hear they've moved into plumbing, where copper does at least have some
historical health benefit of replacing lead...

there's a _slight_ validity to having copper (or copper coated) valves
and handles as the metal is modestly bacteriostatic, so in theory it
might reduce cross-infectivity from icky stuff left from the last
person to turn on the water fountain.  Maybe.

that being said, our beloved Snoopy tried using copper bracelets
for his arthritis way back...
