I have personally watched people stand on their swim platform and urinate into the lake not far from my drinking water intake. How many people do this less obtrusively while in the water I will not guess. However most of those boats do not have a head.

Thanks for posting this. I will be sure to be at the hearing.[/QUOTE]

Island Lover,
I have a large "cabin Cruiser" and spend most of my time on weekends rafting with a group of friends who have similar boats. We all have heads in the boats and use them when needed. I am not saying that there are not people who urinate in the water from their boat, which is neither right nor condoned. but are you going to tell me that it is only boaters who do this? What about people on shore using their lakefront property. Can you honestly say that cousin Bob who has been at your BBQ all day woofing down the Keystone lights is going to wipe his dirty feet off and go in to use your facilities when mother nature calls? I think not. You will be able to tell who he is because he is the one in waste deep water, not moving, with a great since of relief on his face.
Give be a break!
