S.F. water manager faces suspension for urinating in reservoir
SFGATE ^ | 2-9-15

A mid-level San Francisco water manager is under fire for urinating into a reservoir that’s a source of drinking water for 2.5 million Bay Area customers.

City Hall sources tell us that Martin Sanchez, a $111,000-a-year maintenance planner for the Public Utilities Commission, will probably be suspended without pay for the maximum five days allowed as a result of the Jan. 6 incident at the Priest Reservoir in the Sierra foothills near Sonora.

Priest is one of four holding reservoirs for San Francisco and other Bay Area cities that receive Hetch Hetchy water.

Utilities commission spokesman Tyrone Jue said the 674 million-gallon reservoir had been “completely drained” for maintenance when Sanchez used it as a urinal. Although the urine posed no health danger, Jue said, his action was “not acceptable.”

Are they going to flush the reservoir, isn’t that what Portland did/was going to when teen peed in one of theirs? This guy should be charged as a terrorist for poisoning the water supply! That’ll teach him to go pee before he leaves the office.

Seriously, no big deal.

This is exactly what Leftist officials do to us every day.

We drink it, eat it, and lap it up every day.

Enjoy San Franciscans. You voted for the a hole.

674 million-gallon reservoir

Somehow, this doesn't seem to be a problem.

Okay, then the people they voted for hired him. Eventually gets back to the same problem.

“It seems a bit extreme, but officials in Portland, Ore., are preparing to flush an entire city reservoir because one teenager took a leak in its waters.

Water Bureau Administrator David Shaff says 38 million gallons will be thrown out because a 19-year-old skateboarder was seen adding his own liquid to the kidney-shaped lake.

It’s the second time a city drinking water repository has been drained because someone took a leak in it.

In 2011, officials drained 7.5 million gallons from a nearby reservoir.”

This TV-addled generation really has little touch with reality, do they.

I can imagine a person being fired for public urination but in San Francisco that is too common
