This just has to be a
PR stunt to help promote the idea of covered reservoirs. In all the years since it was built, little has been done to further secure this or other reservoirs.

And yet, building a covered reservoir has a cost of up to $500m.
IIRC in the not too distant past someone is said to have tossed about 2,000 doses of LSD into a portland water reservoir. Dunno if it was this one.
