Up for discussion?
Even beyond all of that, the water doesn't just go straight to our homes, there is a mild purification system that takes place before we get it. So all of the things that go on in the water is cleaned and taken care of before it gets to us. So what's so wrong with letting a kayaker or float tuber on the water? Absolutely nothing. There is no good reason. If I'm missing something let me know |

It's the same reason why people refuse to drink "recycled" water (processed pee/poop water).
Chemically-speaking, the recycled water actually comes out cleaner than your "real" tap water, but that doesn't matter. Most people have an irrational (not based in science) aversion to drinking water that used-to-be pee/poop. It tastes like nothing, because it is literally all pure H2O (which has no taste). Yes... I have 1st-hand experience with recycled water. In reality, all water on the planet has a good chance that it was poop/pee at one time or another. |

From how I understand it, it makes sense. Animal pee/poop is natural, same as a dead animal in the water. It's normal biological waste which is easily filtered out.
Humans on the other hand can introduce some serious viruses and diseases and infectious nastiness that aren't as easily filtered out of the water.

All of the water we drink is the same water that the dinosaurs drank a million years ago. Period. Although, the water has taken multiple forms since then, i.e. Vapor, Ice, Liquid and even broken down into individual parts and reassembled again (Plant Photosynthesis for example.) Like what another poster said, it's what we introduce into those waters that is the dangrous part. It was explained to me by a lake water expert a long time ago that we can introduce some pretty funky chemicals and diseases into the water that the normal lake habitat has a hard time dealing with. Let alone what goes past the filters before it becomes potable water. So they limit human contact as much as possible to minimize the risk. Yes, animals die, poop/pee in the same water that we're not allowed to swim in, but animals "generally" don't have odd diseases like HIV, Flu, etc and they don't have soaps, sunscreens and perfumes on their skin. All of the things a pooping, peeing and dying animal places in the water can be filtered out easily and predictably. Oh and I agree with the oddity of allowing chemical spewing boats but not a sit on top kayak... but who knows, maybe that stuff is filtered out easily as well.... maybe they're worried about a disease outbreak primarily or something. |

Are the boaters not rinsing the fish slime off their hands in the lake?
Or taking a piss when nobody is looking? |

The rule usually is "No Bodily Contact"

It's $$$$. That's the only reason. Not poop, not pee, not body contact. Just good ol fashioned $$$$.
I fish there all the time in a sit inside. Same body contact as a sit on top. |
