It seems the City Creek Stream naturally ran from the canyon into parts of Salt Lake City.

City Creek Canyon, located northeast of Salt Lake City, collects water from 19.2 square miles of watershed that feeds the 14.5 mile-long City Creek stream. Since the arrival of the Mormon pioneers in 1847 this water supply has been used by first the settlers, and later the inhabitants of the City. It played a significant role in the valley’s early history, as the settlement was based on agriculture through artificial irrigation of the desert soil. City Creek was designated as the pioneer’s first source of water providing both irrigation and domestic supplies. Today it remains an important part of the City’s water supply providing water by gravity flow to the Avenues, Ensign Downs and downtown areas. PDF source

City Creek is a small but historically important mountain stream that flows from City Creek Canyon and across part of Salt Lake City, Utah, and into the Jordan River which empties into the Great Salt Lake. Source

Same. When that news first hit I switched to non-aluminum brands just to be safe.

It’s also stated in this article.

But the agency described Gita as a “rescue dog and best friend of the gentleman in trouble”, and it explicitly credited her for “saving his life that day”.

I grew up in Regina and remember my dad talking about not being able to swim in Wascana Lake because of the goose poo/cattle poo contamination.

Fyi Regina is one of the only major cities in North America not built on a major natural water source.

Wascana lake was created in 1883 by damming Wascana Creek, a low flow seasonal run-off stream, to serve as a reliable water reservoir for the town and railway (the railway used it as a watering hole for the cattle they transported)

The lake continued for a time to be used as a domestic water supply and for stock watering; it also supplied the new legislative building. A longer term effect resulted, however, when lake water was used to cool machinery in the power plant (now the Powerhouse Museum) that was built in the eastern sector. Heated water returned to the lake, causing that sector to remain ice-free through the winter, and several species of migratory birds made it their year-round habitat.

Canada geese are one of those, so Regina has a year-round population as well.

… he was accused of grabbing a woman on the street by the hips and holding her

Would he have grabbed a man by the hips and held him? Probably not. Therefore it’s sexual assault.
