I find it amazing that people won't get into their local waters, but
need a pool.
That's a guy who never saw a Chesapeake Bay sea nettle.
No, but I've seen many, many sea nettles. Also, owning a home pool,
I've read a lot about commercial pool water quality. At least the urine
and feces that makes it's way to a lot of waterways is treated first!
As far as the urine and feces that making it's way to the waterways
being treated, you are incorrect. Many cities, including Atlanta, have
problems with untreated waste making it way into the waterway,
especially when the system is overloaded by heavy rains.
Very few of the livestock owners I'm familiar with have their own treatment
plants.
On many lakes and coves, it is fairly common for geese and other
wildlife to cause extremely high bacteria count that result in beaches
being closed for extended periods. The truth of the matter, lakes,
oceans, bays and pools can all have problems with fecal matter. It is
fairly easy to correct a pool problem by shocking the pool with
chlorine. It is not quiet as easy in a open water.
