Equal to one (0.05mL) drop in 8000 gallons. You probably get a lot more from spray from a flushing toilet hitting a glass by your sink. (and I bet you close the lid next time before flushing just from thinking about that)

Good thing birds and wild animals never pee or poo in it.

This must be the most incompetent group of "professionals" in charge of that water system.They are unaware that the water of the space station recycles 100% of all their water (no details should be necessary)?

They are planning to waste, literally,a month's supply of water for a medium sized city.
And here I thought there was a drought problem in the Western U.S.

If water costs a dime per hundred gallons, then 38 million gallons would cost 3.8 million pennies, or $38,000. They could send him a bill.

It isn’t treated yet in the reservoir, it goes from the res to the treatment plant.

W.C. Fields was once asked why he never drank water though he drank all manner of liquors:

“An abominable substance, my boy. Fish f*** in it!’

Now wait a minute... they treat it first and then store it in an open reservoir?

No one ever claimed that public employees generally come from the sharp end of the gene pool (although they are paid as if they were.)

Not all, but the majority of them. The competent ones don't last; they just give up and move on. Deadwood accumulates.

Ever work for a "public" agency? I have.

Or, they could beat themselves in the heads with Large Hammers, until their brains leaked out.

Oh, wait...
