PORTLAND (Oregon) - CALL it the big flush. Because a 21-year-old man was caught on a security camera urinating into a city reservoir, Oregon's biggest city is sending 30.3 million litres of treated drinking water down the drain.
Portland officials defended the decision on Monday, saying they didn't want to send city residents water laced, however infinitesimally, with urine.
Public health officials say, however, that urine is sterile in healthy people and that the urine in the reservoir was so diluted - perhaps a quarter of a litre in millions of litres - that it posed little risk. Some people in the city, in the suburbs and around the world called the flush an overreaction, especially since animals such as ducks contribute waste routinely and, sometimes, die in the water.
'More than 1 billion people worldwide do not have reliable access to clean drinking water, and here we are tossing away nearly 8 million gallons (30.3 million litres) of water just to appease the ignorant residents who believe their tap water will otherwise turn yellow,' read one comment posted on The Oregonian's Website.
Water from the city's five open air reservoirs, all in parks, goes directly to customers. The reservoirs are due to be replaced by underground storage within a decade, a result of federal requirements. The reservoirs distribute water that flows from glaciers on Mount Hood. It is treated before it goes to the reservoirs for distribution, and then goes directly to consumers.
The reservoirs are drained twice a year for cleaning, and workers have found animal carcasses, paint cans, construction material, fireworks debris and even the plastic bags people use to scoop up after their dogs, said David Shaff, administrator of the city water bureau. Even so, Mr Shaff said, the yuck factor was the primary reason for the decision to drain the 30.3 million litres, at a cost of less than US$8,000 (S$9,880) to treat it as sewage. 'Nobody wants to drink pee, and I don't want to deal with the 100 people who would be unhappy that I'm serving them pee in their water,' he said. -- AP -

In the USA - treated water is kept in exposed tanks. *faint*. And have animal carcasses in the treated water? Urgh. -
for me the scary part is not abt drinking the water cos reservoir still have to go through many stages of purification.
its the thought that the other half of the body is still somewhere around… -

if he’s been missing since april, then the upper body could have decomposed and broken off and not hacked apart as most have speculated.
