The most expensive whiz, ever

 
By Mona Goldwater, Public Dilemma Editor



A 21-year-old Oregon man was recently caught peeing in one of Portland's main reservoirs.   The city drained all 7.8 million gallons at a cost of $36,000. Portland Water Bureau administrator David Schaff asked reporters "Do you want to drink pee?"

This has to be the world's most expensive leak, ever.  And, when they drained that open reservoir, I bet they found squirrels, bats, birds, slugs, and other critters that makes the reason they drained the reservoir in the first place seem trivial
