Even worse, Lake Perris in Moreno Valley, CA was for a long time considered one of the most polluted. It seems that people would change their babies’ diapers and throw them into the lake for disposal instead of the trash cans, not to mention those who used the water as their toilet. There were many documented cases of dysentery because of this. The last time I was there, huge signs had been put up in both English and Spanish telling people to use the bathrooms and dispose of used diapers properly. I haven’t been back for a long time, but I hear it has been cleaned up.
