Skunks though, maybe, or racoons

Portland will flush 38 million gallons of water after man urinates in Mt. Tabor Reservoir | OregonLive.com

"Portland administrators will flush 38 million gallons of water from Mt. Tabor Reservoir 5 after a 19-year-old man urinated in the city’s drinking supply.

"‘Even though there is very minimal public health risk, the bottom line is that our commitment is to serve water that’s clean, cold and constant,’ said Water Bureau administrator David Shaff. ‘That doesn’t include pee. Not from people, at least.’"

(Just for the record, the normal capacity of the human bladder is about a pint. Most of that pint is, well, water.)
