Urine contamination
Print Edition
THE US city of Portland, Oregon, is ditching 38 million gallons of drinking water from a reservoir after a teenager was caught on camera urinating into it, officials said on Thursday.
The water — enough to fill nearly 60 Olympic-size swimming pools, according to reports — will be discarded despite tests finding no evidence of contamination.
The 19-year old man, seen with two friends carrying skateboards in the early hours on Wednesday, was filmed urinating through an iron fence into the reservoir in southeast Portland shortly after 1am.
David Shaff, Portland Water Bureau Administrator, said about 38 million gallons will be discarded and replaced with fresh water from the Bull Run water supply — even though subsequent tests showed no contamination.
