Teen caught peeing in reservoir, 38 million gallons being drained because of it

I guess they don't realize that birds poop and fish are also known to urinate. Clearly all reservoirs should be covered by an impermeable membrane and guarded with radar-guided machine guns. Clearly this teen is a terrorist and the full might of the law should be used against him. [/sarcasm]

I'll admit it's mildly disgusting, but 38 million gallons? It's totally undetectable.

I think the fresh reservoirs are spiders to be before final treatment and pipe-shipping, but I'm not an expert on the systems. It makes sense to do it that way, though.
