(Portland, Oregon) Water Supply Cut Off After Man Urinates In Reservoir
CBS News ^ | October 16, 2013

A Portland, Oregon man urinated in a Mt. Tabor reservoir Wednesday causing the city to take it’s critical water supply off line and dump millions in gallons of water.

According to The Oregonian, officials saw five people throwing objects into the reservoir, while one person began to urinate into it through the fencing. Police did not cite the 21-year-old or his friends, but the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office may press criminal charges after surveillance video and police reports are reviewed.

An administrator for the Water Bureau, David Shaff, said that because of this incident, roughly 7.8 million gallons of drinking water will be discarded. He said the bureau often finds dead animals in the same drinking supply but the water isn’t dumped.

“This is different,” Shaff told the newspaper. “Do you want to drink pee?”

Do the deer around the vaunted pristine reservoir ever pee in the water (or near it)? These LIB/Commie bureaucrats are mentally unhinged. Someone should fire them. Fools.

Fish don't pee and birds flying overhead never poop, I guess.

Urine is almost always sterile. Of course if it came from a lefty who just had his penis where it shouldn’t be that’s a horse of a different color.

Good thing they didn’t drop a Baby Ruth in the reservoir or all hell would’ve broke loose.

No. But I would much rather drink pee than drink water that DEAD ANIMALS have been floating in, jeez. Those things can have diseases you know.
