Anyone planning on boiling all their water for a while? Planning on drinking nothing but beer all weekend? Gonna do anything else different as a result of the e-coli in the water?
 
Re: ERMAGERD--Boil your water!!

I'm going to drink a bunch of tap water this weekend because Troutdale wasn't affected :)
 
Re: ERMAGERD--Boil your water!!

Well that explains my constant trips to the bathroom this week..

Eh they put Chlorine in the water anyway. I'm just going to drink away.

I would rather die of e-Coli than live in Trout-Tucky!

Not if you're still living in Tualatin. We rich folk in the south suburbs have our own water supply, and it doesn't involve sewage overflows.

Well shit it really doesn't then.

Re: ERMAGERD--Boil your water!!

Just saw the Portland/e coli thing reported on CNN. They say it's the first time in 30 years that a city has had a water boil mandate to schools without first having a natural disaster.

Democrats really know how to use those high tax rates to better the lives of their citizens.
 
Re: ERMAGERD--Boil your water!!

Papa, check your privilege at the door, son.

You live in a white-bred suburb where you don't deal with such travesties (but make up for it in property taxes). It's a plot against hipsters, democrats, people that aren't white, etc.
 
Weak sauce, using the later thread title after the merge.
 
Is it true that when ecoli is in spinach it's because the workers are taking shits in the field? Probably some homeless dudes shitting and bathing in the water
 
Glad I have horrible Vegas tap water. I have maybe drank a gallon or two in 8 years of living here.
 
I just fixed coffee with bottled water.

Exciting!
 
meh I drank some last night before i went bed. katu said that repeat test samples from the same reservoir came up negative. they just had positives from 2 or 3 different reservoirs though.
So idk. most likely not an issue.
/knock on wood.
 
In a show of solidarity with those effected in the Portland area, I will refrain from drinking tap water, and replace my liquid intake with Coors Light.
 
Ain't no ecoli that can live in the shit I drink!

Basically the same thing, right.
 
Portland boil water alert lifted: Here's what to do

But before using tap water, or using ice from a machine, here's what residents need to do:

  • Flush pipes and faucets by running cold water faucets continuously for at least five minutes.
  • Flush water coolers by running those with direct water connections for five minutes.
  • Flush home automatic ice makers by making three batches of ice cubes. Discard all three batches.
  • Run water softeners through a regeneration cycle.
  • Drain and refill hot water heaters set below 113 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Change all point-of-entry and point-of-use water filters, including those associated with equipment that uses water.
