If I boiled or field treated the water from that lake I'd drink it. Utility processing is even more extensive. My septic tank and drain field is in my front yard a few feet from the house and my 180 ft well is behind my house about 6 ft but cased to 80 ft. I had it tested it is as pure as can be.
Reality? Which poses a greater health risk? A patient drinking water from that reservoir properly treated which most patients do so daily? Or is it a Staph infection from a hospital including the OR or nursing home environment? I know that answer and so do you. The water is far less likely to do any harm.
As a kid back in the 1960's and 70's I swam in creeks and lakes that had every thing a person could imagine draining off into them from farms. It was rural farm country. I also swam in city swimming pools where hundreds of kids swam in at the pool. I survived and to be honest I can't remember one kid getting sick from it.
Obviously, it’s not the science. Please! I understand that. It’s the appearance that is the problem. Think about what this says to people that use that water. It has nothing to do with urine in the water. Giveme a little credit. What is the appearance to anyone involved in this situation? Geesh!
Hold the phone! “the Priest Reservoir” Is this an impermissible mixture of religion and politics? And in San Francisco of all places.
