Yes, what am I missing here? It’s an outdoor reservoir. There are probably fish in it, there are certainly snakes, and worms, and bugs. Birds landing and drinking and pooping and peeing. Other animals, runoff from contaminated land.
I would assume that they treat the water before the put it in the pipes. How could one kid’s pee make a bit of difference?
Actually, this makes no sense. Urine isn’t even a particularly toxic chemical. And there’s no way they can flush the entire lake.
This seems like a false story to me. I just don’t get it.
According to the articles I read, they know wild animals poop & pee in it. The difference this time is that someone did it INTENTIONALLY. As everyone knows, intentional urine is much nastier than unintentional urine.
Of course, the wild animals are intentionally peeing, so perhaps “wild urine”, or “free range urine”, is better than nasty “domesticated urine”, with “human urine” at the top of the scale in nastiness.
