Parts of Baltimore under Boil Water Adv.

Splitting into it's own thread so it doesn't hijack the the info on Jackson, MS.

Boil water advisory has been extended to more of the county. No details that I could find on what caused the contamination or any kind of timeline when it might be considered safe again. Only 3 water distribution sites (there's a 4th on the map but it's not listed in news articles so I dunno), and each household is limited to 3 gallons of water. Thank god it's only in the 70s and cloudy today. If it were in the 90s which is normal for this time of year, it would be so much worse.

Yeah, definitely no details yet on what caused or how long they think it'll last (which isn't surprising considering they don't know what caused it)

3 gallons per household is pitiful. I hope they get better distribution going quickly if this keeps up.
