SYRACUSE - The water looks clear, but the label on the bottle tells a different story.
"Ingredients," notes the back side of the bottle's label: "Water, fecal matter, toilet paper, hair, lint, rancid grease, stomach acid and trace amounts of Pepto Bismol, chocolate, urine, body oils, dead skin, industrial chemicals (aluminum, copper, zinc, lead, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, selenium, silver arsenic, mercury,) ammonia, ... soil, laundry soap, bath soap, shaving cream, sweat, saliva, salt, sugar. No artificial colors or preservatives. Some variations in taste and/or color may occur due to holidays, predominant cuisine preference, infiltration/inflow, or sewer cross-connections."
The specially labeled bottle water comes courtesy of the North Davis Sewer District.
Sewer-district manager Kevin Cowan hands out bottles to those who tour its facilities.
Cowan says he's trying to make a point with the disgusting ingredients.
"We make them (visitors) think it is the treatment product," he said. "But it's also a lesson about our environment ... (about) being more conscious about what goes down the drain."

I think I'll go dump some selenium down my drain just for kicks...
I don’t get it. So is this guy saying that we shouldn’t poo, wipe our behinds, or barf in the toilet? Or wash our dishes? What is the point of him doing this
Please, someone... if this guy is doing this and the stuff that goes down the drain is “bad”, what use is the toilet if we can’t crap in them?
Or is he saying that he and his staff are grossly incompetent and shouldn’t be trusted with the city water supply?
Haha! I am analyzing this too much. The guy is just a dork who thinks that he is being clever.
APf
I guess we get to go back to digging holes in the ground.
I’d fire his azz immediately for politicizing the water dept. Just clean the water without any commentary, fool.
ROFL!!!! I’m stealin’ that for my Hillary collection!
If your water doesn’t have Mercury in it, it will taste lousy. Add three droplets to the gallon and you’ll be happy.
Wait a minute. Wasn’t there an article last week that said we should be eating more sh**?
Dang. These envirowackos just cant figure out what we should be doing can they.
You could caption it “Hillary tries to be all things to all people” as it covers tranvestites, etc.
This explains Syracuse football. There IS something in the water!
I’ll see your selinium and raise you some rat poison.
Yeah, way to waste taxpayer dollars, fool!
Then what happens when it rains and the water is recollected later from a well or stream? Nature has equipped us with a what we need. Somebody needs to slap that enviro-fool. If you can't handle a little contamination, then you SHOULD die!
At around $60 per pound, I doubt you’ll dump much selenium down your toilet..........
It doesn't have to be much. He's tweaking out about trace amounts already. I might just drop a couple of multi-vitamins in the ol' potty.
That is some SERIESLY bad water!
Anyone who uses the green colored dandruff shampoo does dump selenium down the drain.............
