They ruin the drinking capability of our city water to maintain pressure for fire services. Makes me wonder why not lower pressure a bit but I know we haven't come to that. At some point (and we won't get there ) if this was to last a week, I'd prioritize drinking water over putting out a fire or two.
I stopped at 3 places on the way to work after dropping off my daughter that were sold out of everything but fancy water. Figured HD was an easy stop but St. Davids had already agreed to buy all of their water.tailgatetimer10 said:
Yep. And like clockwork the crazies already bought out the grocery store bottled water.

after I told my wife about the boil notice, she responded, "what about the dogs? We probably shouldn't give them tap water either."
i laughed at her and reminded her that they were drinking brown stagnant water at the dog park yesterday.
for a smart girl, she says some dumb sheet sometimes.
you can dilute a little bleach in a sink full of water for your rinse water.rather be fishing said:
Are y'all washing dishes with the water? Older house, no electric washer, running out of sink space for dishes.

Good thing the leaders in Austin focused on plastic bags, straws, and soccer teams.

They take up time and resources that apparently should have been spent on infrastructure.Potcake said:96ags said:

What do any of those have to do with historical flooding?

Town lake, where the cities water is drawn from, didn't really see "historic flooding" just higher than normal turbidity.

Where do you think the floodwaters, and siltload, from upstream have been flowing through? It's the heavy siltload that is causing the problem. You're complaining that treatment plants weren't upgraded to handle periodic heavy siltloads yet you probably vote against every bond issue as well. Can't have it both ways.
