City water employee suspended after urinating at filtration plant
A city watchdog turned over alarming evidence to the Trenton City Council that indicated an employee at the city water filtration plant has been urinating into the filtration beds that purify public drinking water.

Honestly though how much damage could one bladder full of urine do to an entire city's water supply? The average urination only produces between 8 and 12 ounces. What's the water supply for an average large mid sized city like Trenton, hundreds of thousands of gallons? Wouldn't it be diluted to the point of it not really being there in any real sense?
Beside healthy urine is sterile and the article isn't clear of where exactly in the filtration process the urine was introduced, so its possible it was filtered out. Not defending what the guy did but it seems more like childish vandalism then some sort of "poisoning the water supply" plot the article makes it out to be. I agree it's disgusting, but I'm not sure if its really dangerous on any real level.

Dangerous or not, the guy's pulling an illegal prank on an entire city's worth of people.
Would you be as calm about it if it were your city? Maybe your drinking water got more pee in it than your neighbor's did. It may not be "dangerous" but the guy is still contaminating drinking water. It's wrong, disgusting, and illegal. And beyond "childish vandalism" if you ask me. I'd be furious if it happened in my town.
