PAIN IN THE ASS.  thanks obama. happy 4th indeed.

[goaskalice]

I hate when that happens. Last year we had to do that three times! I hope it's fixed for you soon. Happy 4th, the rustic way!

We have been on a boil advisory for weeks due to turbidity. We don't have a dishwasher. That's fun.

Oh no!! I'm sorry

what would happen if you drank this water?

Well if it's contaminated, E. coli poisoning. Vomiting, diarrhea, etc. up to organ complications or death.

so, not appropriate for me to make a joke about weight loss from the runs? 

sorry you're dealing with this! 

Lol, my best friend did
it sucks but I guess it gives some perspective to what large populations of the planet deal with for water issues. Apparently a fight broke out at Walmart last night over bottled water :S

I hooked up a water service the second the storm started, because you know dudes will freak out and buy up all the water. 

It makes me extremely conscious of oh much water I consume, by leaving the tap on and just using water liberally because I can. Now that I'm paying for it I'm like 'do we really need to wash that?'. I'm also planning meals around minimal boiling. I'm not taking any risks. 

Will your municipality pro rate your water bill for this time? 

That's a good idea. I think ours is likely to only be a few days, and supposedly it's the first time since the utility service has been operating.

I'm not sure if they will prorate or not - they've been pretty poor at communicating throughout the whole thing. Is yours being prorated?

Ugh. I contracted e. coli from swimming in an infected lake. It was so miserable. Good thing you didn't drink it!

Ha, that's sort of the thing. Apparently thy have been running tests since July 1 because someone showed up to the community hospital sick. So since there is an incubation period, they were exposed before that, which means if we have it...we are already screwed. Lol. So yeah, this is sort of silly at this point because in the last ten days everyone in the community has been exposed in some form. 

They think they've narrowed it to a certain area of town so we will see what happens.
