[grasswire]

This is in the same group of reservoirs where one was drained several weeks ago due to a man urinating through the fence into the water supply.

1. i don't remember this happening in the 18 or so years i lived in SE Portland

1987 - 2004, not a problem.

Fed orders everyone to use only covered/sealed reservoirs because terrists ya know
City water bureau goes ahead looking into contracts for underground reservoirs & pumping & so on
Movement to save the mt tabor reservoirs happens
People get caught pissing in the reservoirs (like noone ever did before?)
E-coli alert, everybody boil your water, oh by the way do you know how open your reservoirs are?

i dunno, it feels like a hard sell...

Bunch of scaredy cats sit in those anchor seats.

3. Now they will use this as a reason

to raise the water rates again. All those pet projects have to be funded.
