Well, yes and no.

On a meta-game level, it's more expensive, and more limited, to help maintain game balance. In that sense, the Ice Mine is even worse.

From an In-Game perspective, this facility doesn't actually produce water. It recovers water from waste, including water that has many chemicals dissolved in it, as well as water that is actually chemically bound to other compounds, such as hydrated copper sulphate and hydrolized fats.
