So your issue is they should have said "coolant additive" rather than "coolant"?

  Pretty much. For you see, when one hears "coolant", they think of car coolant which is 50% ethylene glycol, which when spilled can poison dogs due to sweet taste. Where Meras 1020 additive is 1-2% borate and <1% lye, it really sounds closest to laundry detergent. See https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/News-Articles/City-Manager/1501-Page-Mill-Road-Incident-Update https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/News-Articles/City-Manager/15... So in total they pumped 900+ gallons of water from the drain, in which there were 6 gallons of Meras 1020 additive, which is ~12oz borax and 3oz lye crystals. So like 2 cups of this white powder https://www.20muleteamlaundry.com/ https://www.20muleteamlaundry.com/ Where Tesla did wrong was dumping the cooling water to the street (storm drain), same thing going to the sewer would been fine. Note the fluorescent green dye did its job of highlighting the mishap
