Paddle? Paddles are for sissies! ;)
If you are up the creek, you can always float back down.
All libs should be encouraged to drink some contaminated water so as to prepare themselves when the third world country that they desire comes into existence.
The reservoir is at the edge of a city park. That park has an area where people can let their dogs run off-leash. It would not surprise me to find that some idiot tossed a pile of dog-doo over the fence to show his disdain for rules in general.
The city is busily building new underground tanks in various locations around the area. This should give some impetus to that effort.
There is another facet to this whole mess: The City screwed up their accounting system several years ago and water rates went sub-orbital. Now there’s a ballot measure before the voters to form some sort of a water “district” and take the City completely out of the water business. The City is fighting it, of course but an incident such as this might help one side or the other in the battle of empty words.
We always suspected the RAT-lib-socialists in the Great Northwest were full of Shiite — now we know.
Beer was safe when I was in Egypt a few years ago too. Then I made he mistake of ordering a whisky on the rocks. Put me out of commission for about 24 hours...
And btw, a few drops of saturated solution potassium iodide (SSKI) in a glass would make the water safe too.
Ballot Measure 26-156 was soundly defeated last Tuesday.

Except for the chain of restaurants called Diarrhea Pearlman’s
The liberal board at our little mountain community dumped nonpotable water into a water tank, didn’t test or chlorinate the water, then got mad when a local tested the water and emailed out warnings when he found it was contaminated.
Can’t wait to leave California and are thrilled we sold the cabin. I am so done with idiots.
Probably turned into PBR.
Ha, excellent idea
E-coli is not a warm fuzzy. Bad stuff.
But doncha know, E-coli has a special affinity for marble and granite!
Such a despicably filthy, liberal city, I’m surprised walking down the street doesn’t get you infected.
I hope that all of Portland’s leftist crapheads get a really got case of the “shits”. Why not? They shit all over our country through their representatives and senators.
Tough choice.... either we let ecoli produce CO2 or we boil... oh my... carbon footprint dilema, human vs. Rot... democrat choses rot.
My brother works at Fred Meyers, and he said they were sold out of water in 30 minutes from the announcement being made. He told me that he got a case of water ... :-) ...
A few months ago, there was a “boil water” alert for an area around Pittsburgh. The news reporter DID include the caveat that you should allow the water to cool before you drink it.
