Well I surely don't pee formaldehyde? I drink beer and water, for the record. Some coffee too I suppose. Plenty of White Claw in that tank, though not from me. Lot's of Tito's last year too.
I'm not defending overboard discharge. Just providing some context. I did some reading last year...I think last year...and it was shocking how many millions of gallons of sewage end up in Lake Michigan every year legally. Not all municipalities have converted/separated their storm water systems from their sanitary sewage systems. Overflows still happen all the time. If you're worried about a little pooh in the water you probably shouldn't be swimming.
I am worried about a little pooh in the water I swim in, especially if it is coming from a boater breaking the law. I'm also worried about sewage plant discharge, but it if its an accident that is different than a deliberate discharge.
