Guy urinates in reservoir, forcing Portland to discard 38 million gallons of water

[UrbScotty]

Portland, Oregon is flushing 38 million gallons of drinking water down the drain because a 19-year-old man urinated in an open reservoir early on Wednesday morning, city water officials said.

Three teens were observed at the reservoir in a Portland park at about 1 a.m. Wednesday, Portland Water Bureau spokesman David Shaff said, and one of them was filmed urinating through an iron fence into the water.

The other two tried to climb the fence and one got into the secure area around the reservoir, but Shaff said it is not clear what he did then.

The 50-million-gallon reservoir was taken off line and was tested for possible contamination and the results will be known Thursday. But in the meantime, the city has decided to "discard" 38 million gallons of water and clean the reservoir, Shaff said.

3. Bird Fly by Dumps,

Ducks, Canada Geese (We in Jersey are Familiar what they are Capable of), And any other critter can Saunder up and do their business. But let just one man wave his tool about and OMFG everyone looses their Minds! Did anyone ever forget the water we drink today may have passed through the Kidneys of a T REX!?
This water also must pass through Sand filters, Aeration system, settling tanks, Chlorination, and is tested before it pass to homes. This is all for show nothing more.

4. I observed on another thread - this is homeopathic thinking

A 4C dilution of pee renders it homeopathically active!



Else someone will take me seriously
