Deep Draft: I can say that some of people enforcing the standards have
unreasonable expectations. We recently had an inspector from the
Department of Ecology on site, and she noticed a water hose, hooked up
to the city's public water supply, that had some water running from
the end of it. Some boaters were going to use it to provide cooling
water to a saildrive that they were tuning up. She told me that I had
to stop that "activity" immediately. When I asked her why, she said
it was because the city drinking water has been chlorinated and
therefore it wasn't permissible to allow it to flow into {name of
industrial waterway omitted to preserve Deep Draft's anonymity}.

Well, there you have it, a fine example of environmental nonsense taken to
illogical extremes.
