This from our state DEP pump out program:

"The untreated sewage from two people on one boat can contribute the
same amount of bacteria to a harbor as the treated discharge from a
town of 10,000 people."

Let's see, about 70,000 people in Portland. The whole city's
bacterial output (after treatment) could be duplicated by 14 people?!
