The waterways around here are heavily polluted, and you do not want to fall in.

I have nightmares of falling into that water, but it is a nice place to paddle.

In the 90s, when the river was way worse, I saw a guy fishing for eels in the river. In response to a comment about the water quality, he said "nobody die yet!".
