Because a 21-year-old man was caught on a security camera urinating into a city reservoir, Oregon's biggest city is sending 8 million gallons of treated drinking water down the drain.
Public health officials say, however, that urine is sterile in healthy people and that the urine in the reservoir was so diluted - perhaps a half pint in millions of gallons - that it posed little risk.
More of the story
To treat the dumped water will cost about $8,000
The water itself is worth $28,000
Are we just getting stupid?
One man pees into 8 million gallons of water, and they freak out!
Can you say ANAL?
