All water we drink and produce as sewage is part of the water cycle.
Water is taken from rivers and lakes and treated to drinking water standard.
Wastewater then goes down the sewers to a wastewater treatment plant where it is treated to clean it and then put back into rivers........so you're not directly drinking sewage!
