Reservoir problems[edit]

Mount Tabor Reservoir
These reservoirs, according to Portland's NBC affiliate KGW, are not filtered. This came to light June 30, 2008 when KGW reported two people were caught skinny dipping in one of the offline reservoirs the night of June 29. Reservoir officials say it's fortunate this particular reservoir was offline at the time, because draining and refilling it would have cost tens of thousands of dollars. Creating covers for the reservoirs has been proposed in the past but would cost the city about $500 million.[18] The uncovered reservoirs were again in the news in early December 2009 when an E. coli outbreak warning was issued for Portland tap water. Residents were urged to boil the water they use for drinking and washing dishes.[19]
On June 15, 2011, a man was observed urinating in a nearly 8,000,000 gallon reservoir, prompting city officials to drain the water at a cost of around $36,000.[20]

〔本報訊〕美國波特蘭市的噩夢又來了,3名年輕人昨天在塔博山水庫(Mount Tabor Reservoir)的蓄水池小便,導致500萬加侖的水通通要放掉,為此,當地政府必須拋售380萬加侖的飲用水才能補足損失。

在水庫蓄水池小便,似乎成了當地人改不掉的惡習,從2011年6月有醉漢跑到水庫排尿,導致800萬加侖的水報銷以來,2013年類似的事件又發生兩次,儘管當局一再提防,但在16日凌晨1時,存有500萬加侖水的水庫又失守了。

3名亂小便的年輕人已遭到逮捕,波特蘭水務局對此相當無奈,目前正在進行水庫的排水測試。
