Why we pay bureaucrats - RgrF - 06-22-2011
In Portland, Oregon, 7.8 million gallons of drinking water
were discarded after a man relieved himself in a
reservoir in the early hours of the morning. Asked what
difference a small amount of urine made, given that city
officials routinely find dead animals in the reservoir,
Water Bureau administrator David Shaff replied, "This is
different. Do you want to drink pee?"

As if that water isn't filtered and treated...

Not to mention that urine is sterile. Stupidity in the extreme

Well...urine is generally sterile to the person that it came from, but you can still pass disease through urine.

7.8 million gallons of water
+ one man's pee
i'd drink from it once the whiz dissipated.
hysteria, nothing more.

It's so diluted. It's undetectable any how. May be that man did more than just urinated and the city does not want to reveal that tiny detail :dunno:

Covering Portland's open-air reservoirs has been a politically charged topic in recent years and the Water Bureau is working to comply with federal regulations
"Dave, we need you to make a big deal about this. You might come off as a bit dumb, but we need the votes."
