Joke can take American city empty reservoir with 143 million gallons of water

At a time when drought proliferates by several u.s. States, the city of Portland, Oregon, are studying the emptying of a reservoir with 143 million gallons of water.

This thread is recurring in the United States, and the reason is usually the same: someone peed to the tank, which is filled with treated water.

The cameras recorded the action of the 19-year-old boy, at the beginning the morning of Wednesday, April 16 â€" a week ago. Because of the joke, the authorities are doing tests of water quality and one of the possibilities is to empty the reservoir.

In an interview with Associated Press Agency, the spokeswoman for the local water company said that the urine presents little risk, and that animals routinely deposit waste in the tank without creating a public health crisis. The problem is that, now, the company does not want to serve water that was deliberately contaminated.

"I may be wrong about this, but the reality is that our clients will receive drinking water that has been contaminated by someone who decided to pee in the tank," explained David Shaff.

If the disposal occurs, the water will drain to the sewer system that eventually, and after treatment, is dumped on the Columbia River.
