Dumping A Reservoir Outside

Well, I use chemical nutes and when I drain I drain into my sump pump hole. The sump pump pushes it out to my vegetable garden area.
My towns well head is about 200 yards from my yard, the area is considered a water protection area, and about 200 yards from the towns well head is an 100+ acre corn/soybean field that applies anhydrous ammonia and round up on the complete field. From all the stuff coming from the field, I don't think anything I pour onto the ground (short of heavy metals, radioactive waste, or industrial solvents) would make any difference. People use chemical fertilizers on their yards along with weed killers all the time. I don't drink the tap water though as it comes out at 600+ PPM and we have high natural fluoride levels.
Our drinking water comes out of my RO machine and into a water cooler.

$50 to the person that gets drifter to munch a dirty diaper.

Couple points for consideration...

Water treatment plants do not take out all the chemcials in the water before it outfalls to streams, ponds, and surface waters. So yeah, like highsided said, that is why we have transvestite fish and all kinds of nasty unnatural shit because of prescription drugs getting flushed and women on the pill using the restroom.

Pouring your nutes on the lawn is not going to create a salt problem. The rain will flush the salts out of the topsoil layer. The only problem is that if you dump your nutes in the summer, that patch of lawn is going to grow gangbusters and be much greener than the rest of the lawn. (But you could put them in a spray bottle, drive to drifters house and spray "cock sucker" on his lawn at night. Then despite his best efforts, his lawn will have a big green cock sucker stamp on it that grows twice as fast as the rest of the lawn. The gag is actually better with time release fertilizer, but you get the jist.

Lastly, your nutes will not make it into the ground water table unless you have a really close groundwater table or you live next to a stream. If you ahve a basement then your safe. The majority of nutrients are actually not that mobile in the soil meaning that rain or watering will not actually cause the nutrients to move through the soil column. Nitrogen is the most mobile of the elements but again, that nitrogen is going to filter down a foot or so and then be fixed by denitrifying bacteria in the soil. Any chemical can and will readily run off even the slightest slopes if the ground is saturated so if you have surface waters downslope from your house then it may be best to dispose when its dry.
pretty much what i was tring to get at with out all the typing........... know it all lol

That' funny that your such an arrogant asshole. Telling other people not to post when you yourself have no clue. Dumping down the drain means it ends up back in our water you fucking idiot, not that he is literally drinking his reservoir. Chemical fertilizer is poison so I wouldn't recommend drinking or eating it I think I'll choose the organic turds and live to see another day.
yet you post even after someone else stated factual info that the shit never hits or water system, if was a figure of speach, if you can see that then you are the idiot, eat you turds

Better to dump it outside then down the drain the salt build may kill your grass but at least your not drinking it.........good luck
not even close to enough salt to hurt the grass, how does dumping down the drain mean he is going to drink it, im sure he is on city water which means it would go trrough a treatment plant before being put back in to the ground water system, and if the systems will filter out shit, im sure fertilizers are nothing, i will drink a bottle of nutes before i ate a dirty diaper
Lt1rx7 just thought I'd let you know you misread that(if you even read it at all), I'd suggest you understand what you're reading before you start flaming. idiot

To Stoner, I just throw them off my back porch as far as I can tell they love it

WOW.... I think you might have a greener lawn if you watered your grass with the waste... Think about it......... If the water is growing your plants why would it kill other plants if you poured it in your lawn.....
