I wouldn't mind paying for it, but I don't have a job right now I'm willing to do community service to clean up the place because I feel bad and feel pretty stupid."Funny he had enough money to buy beer/other alcohol, but at least he realized he was a dumbass.

As a person who is living in an area under severe drought, this is just stupid. Could the water not have been re-treated? Methinks the water director may be a bit of a environmental drama queen.

I’m sure the urine in that large a pool is no worse than the bird poop that probably hits it everyday.

Urine is pretty much sterile....these idiots have no brains...not the guy who peed...the people who drained the resevoir...how many BIRDS, and other ANIMALS do they think POOP in this body of water...it ain’t covered! It’s why we have CHLORINE!

How about all of the birds taking a bath in it? Or the animals pissing or pooping in it. This is your government at work!

"The water is chlorinated, but its chlorinated before the reservoirs so the water in the reservoirs is the water that you drink," city Commissioner Randy Leonard said. Asinine if that is the case. No city should ever sit water in an open reservoir without a treatment plan before it gets pumped into the tap system.
Dead animals, avian defecation, blown detritus are all things that can easily make it's way into an open reservoir. And a pre-treat with chlorine is not going to fix it all.

Like the old sign at the local plunge: “We don’t swim in your toilet, so please don’t pee in our pool”

The solution to pollution is dilution.
To: DonaldC
They put enough chlorine in the water to cure cancer. a few ozs of urine are not going to contaminate 7 million gallons. What a colossal waste of water.

Really stupid. The fish and wildlife are probably depositing huge amounts of urine every day.

There are probably geese and ducks doing their thing in the water anyway.
