A raccoon appears be to the culprit in a water pipe rupture that led to a boil advisory for more than 400,000 water customers in Johnson County.

I have never been to Oregon. Or Utah. I am puzzled by places that have NBA teams, but no black people.

Josh Seater, Oregon Man, Urinates In Water Reservoir; Portland Flushes 8 Million Gallons In Response (VIDEO)

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Call it the big flush.
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.
Portland officials defended the decision Monday, saying they didn't want to send city residents water laced, however infinitesimally, with urine.
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.
Some people in the city, in the suburbs and around the world called the flush an overreaction, especially since animals such as ducks contribute waste routinely and, sometimes, die in the water.
"More than 1 billion people worldwide do not have reliable access to clean drinking water, and here we are tossing away nearly 8 million gallons of water just to appease the ignorant residents who believe their tap water will otherwise turn yellow," read one comment posted on The Oregonian's Website.
Could you tell the difference Beems? :lol: :lol: (ftp://:lol: :lol:)

Ben owns a very competent over the counter, self contained charcoal filtration system. He was going to be fine either way.

Guys, EMAWmeister is one of those types who is extremely (perhaps to the point of irrationality, or perhaps just tongue in cheek, haven't decided yet) proud of being from Johnson County. Just let him have this one.

Very much the latter.
