NO, IT CAN'T!
This is the attitude that causes pollution. Centuries ago 1 in 3 children died before puberty, mostly of illness. A large percentage of these deaths were caused by coliform and parasites in their drinking water. As a society we spend billions every year to keep excrement out of our drinking water.
But then some idiot lets junior in the lake with a diaper full, or decides the lake will take care of what Fido left behind.
Forget about the big chemical companies, the polluters are in your mirror. One of the things about Winnipesaukee that is not beautiful is its bacteria count.
