Don't drink the water

I don't have time to write a long post, but you can read this: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5geDUvZfc7dzGJd8oa6hV7msLnuEwD9FEDQR80

MA issued a boil-water order for drinking water in 30 communities, which include 2 million people in 700,000 households. Crazy. In a nutshell, a pipe that supplied water broke. The Massachusetts Water Resources Authority was is drawing "emergency" water from various reservoirs for bathing, flushing and fire protection. But that water isn't treated for drinking, so the state issued the boil-water order. One of the places they are getting water from is the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. It's right by my house and I walk down there all the time and sometimes go running around it. Sometimes I see turtles swimming in the water. Aww, turtle water! :P

Good thing I have tons of emergency water in my "water storage" (tons of 2-liter bottles filled with water and a couple drops of bleach that we store in the back bottom shelves in the pantry). I never thought I'd actually have to use it. Crazy. But I'm glad we have it so I don't have to worry about boiling all my water, drinking turtle water, or the fact that most of the grocery stores are sold out of bottled water.
