Acceptable or destroying water supply?

I dont know but my dog can piss dead patches in the grass.

I dumped some stale fuel out of a gas tank once into my yard. The grass didn’t grow there for three years. And it stank for probably two weeks.

It was honestly the best weed killer I’ve ever seen.

Edit: calling gas probably wasn’t actually correct. It was more of varnish and rust.

What makes the green grass grow? Blood, blood, blood.

Why does blood make the green grass grow? Phosphorus

Also the same reason oil makes the green grass grow, phosphorus is good stuff.




Random thoughts of the evening, reminded me of this thread

chemical companies are not the same as a wastewater plant. there's multiple steps in treating waste. there is some chlorination that does happen but its less than the amount used in any municipal water system lines.

the water coming out of a treatment plant, one thats modern and well operated is clean. the last step is the UV purifier pass.

ive been in and through several treatment plants. its not glorious, but its necessary

Don't most treatment plants let through chemicals and meds through? And don't generally test for them?

If you live in town, check with the rules for what can be flushed. Some towns it is OK to flush coolant as the wastewater plant can handle it. Others are not arranged to treat it. If you cannot flush it down, then you gotta take it to hazmat.

If it is basically green and no oil I cant skim off, I recycle it into a tractor that is low. I almost always have something that got a radiator filled with water over the summer that needs swapout before cold weather. Hugely skuzzy, rusty, whatever, either goes in the burn barrel or drop it off at one of a couple auto shops that accept it near me.

when I had my rental hooked to city, If i didn't think that it would melt the pipe before it got to the street, it went down the drain
If it was questionable, I would send a tub full of water, or flush toilets to be sure that it wasn't stopping on my property

Keep charging me for shit that I do not use like a dictatorship forces fees onto you, I will get my money's worth
This is the #1 thing that I miss not owning anything in city limits now
