This belongs in the Portland forum. It is neither political nor controversial on a national level. It's just some random sh*t that happened in Portland.
So if you lived in the area, you would be drinking this guys ****.
It sucks, I know personally, but it is what you need to deal with. Not like huge amounts of water come down from the sky naturally.
Lets see, guy probably peed 1 pint into almost 64,000,000 Pints of water, that's bad. But it's ok to drink and cook with 64,000,000 Pints of water that contains dead animals and who knows what else????
What a horrible decision. As pointed out, it is open so it's already contaminated with bird crap and bugs. Yet one man urinates into it (which would become incredibly diluted anyway) and suddenly the water is bad? This makes no sense whatsoever.

No, it's an indication of America turning into a bunch of people scared of their own shadow and afraid of everything under the sun.

This logic is beyond me.
Beyond me too, I'd prefer to purify the whole lot before going to homes (pigeons are nasty little things)...but people need to realize that in most municipalities water is treated more then here. You can't compare a place where water is actually treated to where it is not equally, that's common sense.

What an odd, random thing to say. Of all the problems in this country, one thing I have NOT noticed is people being any more afraid than they ever were. Perhaps you're projecting something internal? I don't know, that's my best guess.
All things considered, it may have been a foolish decision. However, there is definitely an ick factor to drinking water that has been peed in by a drunken oaf. I don't understand why water is not treated and filtered before being sent to homes. I guess I was unaware of this practice. Ugh!!
I used to live in that neighborhood, just two blocks from Mt. Tabor reservoir. I am so glad I live on a farm now and drink wellwater (when we aren't living overseas that is -- and the water in Israel is a whole other matter.)
You go to a restaurant and eat food and you have no idea if the preparers washed their hands after going to the bathroom. With kids these days and so many illegals probably not. We eat something like 2 pounds of bug parts in our food every year. It was stupid and an over reaction but oh well. But they should throw the book at this doofus.

This reminds me of my days working at In-N-Out Burger back in high school. We had a customer order a Double-Double. He received his order but came back shortly thereafter stating that we made a mistake and gave him a regular cheeseburger.
Based on its appearance alone one might have agreed because the second patty had 'shifted' in the wrapper and you couldn't really see it. However, when we took it from him we knew it was a Double-Double because of its weight. He then essentially directed us to prove it so we started to take it apart by hand to show him and sure enough it was a Double-Double. We then put it back together and proceeded to give it back to him but he refused it. Why? Because we touched it with our hands.
To make it we had to touch it with our hands!! Anyway, we had to make him another Double-Double.
This burger story, and the water story, is a classic example of "what you don't know won't hurt you" and "ignorance is bliss".
[if people knew every little detail of every little thing that they take for granted, then they'd be shocked]
