Could you not have a 'fire hose' on a swivel stand - for safety reasons, of course! - and if you see any 'mystery substances' around the pumps, clean them up with a high-pressure blast. Of course, it would be a terrible shame if there was someone in the way...

I admit, There have been times where I needed to get "creative" on going to the bathroom.
A dirt road I might travel 1/2 mile down to pee on a fence post.
In the Army, I was handed a shovel and a roll of toilet paper and told to go into the bushes to poo (thick bushes mind you, so more privacy).
And a dozen other similar stories.
But I would never go someplace quite that public.I might be crazy, but I'm not Insane.
What? You don't play with flamethrowers on the weekends? You are strange.

Said manager says not to bother, he rented a pressure washer and hosed the mess into the storm drains.
Cue call from their local fire department to me as it tripped the surge alarm in the drain, which rolled trucks to the store where they found said manager with a pressure washer had caused said surge hosing a hazardous material into said storm drain, and we needed to arrange a hazmat cleanup. So I called my boss, got the OK to contact the DOE and a hazmat cleanup company to deal with the mess. Several whopping fines, and a cleanup bill, and a fired store manager later we determined what happened is a couple of the kitchen monkeys had cleaned out the grease traps and one frywell and were hauling it out to the grease pit, and dropped the bucket.
If the idiot had followed our instructions, the mess would have been cleaned up, he wouldn't have had to find a new job and lots of money would not have been spent.
Don't pressure wash anything into storm drains. It is better that way.EVE Online: 99% of the time you sit around waiting for something to happen, but that 1% of action is what hooks people like crack, you don't get interviewed by the BBC for a WoW raid.

Back in my nursing day we had a kid in with serious burns and multiple fractures.
He was very, very pissed and walking over a rail overpass and took a wiz over the side and hit the overhead electric line. The shock knocked him off his feet and over the railing onto the railway track.
The nature of electrical burns, and the path the current took, meant he lost both legs and his ummm... wizzer. Nasty.
So I have no doubt about the legitimacy of claims of shocks from weeing on electric sources.
