Drinking Water ruined?

Re: Drinking Water riuned?

Don't worry too much, boys grow out of the whole poop is funny thing by the time they're like 27, or possibly never.

The answer is "never" in every man I've ever met. :wink:

Our girl is a huge fan of poop jokes, too, so we're fairly well screwed.

Yet more reasons I'm glad all of my kids are girls.

Not always safe that way. When my daughter was a newborn, she shot the proverbial "mustard milkshake" about three feet across the room. My wife came in as asked what happened. I said, J was just shooting the ****!

Yeah, I like to call those "open-air poops." I think it's girls making up for not having external genitalia.
 
My oldest boy is to the point where, if it comes out of his mouth it is either related to fart, poop, or making a fart sound.....

My loving husband taught my 3-year-old princess daughter to put a straw in her armpit and blow into it to make the wettest, grossest fart sound possible. She wants to do it daily. :skeptical:

I remember how miserable that was in '93 in Des Moines. Will they have to flush everything out here as well? They'd have to right?

That kid must have some potent wee wee..

I'd say the two events are unrelated. I think that what the kid peed in was not treated drinking water but rather raw water. It was an open reservoir that and bird could crap in. After this water is treated it is stored in a secure, covered reservoir and has been disinfected with chlorine. The chlorine stays in the water until it comes out of the user's tap or shower or whatever. The E. coli contamination in the system could have came from a failure at the treatment plant or from a cross connection in the water distribution system. Flushing the system will depend on where the E. coli test was taken in the system and if subsequent tests pass.

I think that was treated drinking water the kid peed in. No way they would drain that if it was a raw water source.

You can't store treated drinking water in an open reservoir. It has to be covered with any vent openings covered with screens and any hatches are to be locked. The water department said, yea we have birds in there but this was human pee, or something like that. I think it was a psychological thing.
