Water Manager Caught Peeing in Reservoir That Supplies San Francisco’s Drinking Water

1 minute read

A water manager is expected to be disciplined after the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission confirmed he urinated in a San Francisco Bay Area reservoir last month, the Associated Press reports.

Martin Sanchez was reportedly up for a promotion, but now he could face a suspension without pay, according to the AP. The reservoir, located in the Sierra Nevada Foothills, had been drained for maintenance, and authorities say the incident does not pose a public health risk.

Twice, Portland, Oregon, has been forced to drain a reservoir after similar episodes.
