Well earlier word was 3 am. Keeps getting pushed back

I have a family member who works for a service provider for a handful of local MUDs. Word is that the backup generators didn't kick on immediately and 14/16 pressure points were below 20 psi for 2 mins. The other 2 were below 20 for 30 mins.

His input is that's not the whole story and there had to have been some kind of catastrophic failure because power would've had to be down for a long time for the pressure to drop from 65 to 20 psi and then be below 20 for a 30 mins.
At my house it was visibly noticeable for 4+ hours.

He was just saying those pressure points were below the 20 psi threshold for anywhere between 2 and 30 mins.

I'm assuming noticeable low pressure we were seeing is somewhere between the 20 psi threshold and full operating 65 psi.

Does the ban have to be lifted before the test can be taken, or is the lifting of the ban the result of a test?

It may have been above 20psi but was no more than 25-30. It was noticeably lower than 65 for hours.

Can't lift BWN until the test clear.

Sly is saying that it was two busted transformers at the site. So power supply wasn't the issue.

Test has to come back negative for notice to be lifted. Still should happen at 3 am. However, if there are issues could be pushed.

Sounds like there was at least 4 hours of taking with TEQC nad another 5 hours to get a plan approved. I'm still rolling with this is a regulatory overreaction. And COH is incompetent.

COH doesn't have employment quotas. The HR dept is too dysfunctional and toxic to be that organized.

I need to recover my Nextdoor password; I miss **** like this. "I've had painful urination ever since I got back from Reynosa, and now I know why."

okay this is a super super dumb question and not important in the scheme of things but I don't care. I have a betta fish in a tank with no filter and usually I clean the bowl and put fresh water in with the stress coat and the aquarium drops..and I'm a day or two past my weekly cleaning and it needs it pretty bad. I should probably wait until the boil notice is over right?

You're right...Dumb question

Just boil the damn water for 2 mins if you're that concerned about it.

Given the question I think it should be said that if you do be sure to let it cool before putting you fish in it.

Those drops are to remove chorine. But chorine will vape off at room temp. Choromine is much more table.

Essentially, any time you deal with fish tanks, get a bucket and pre-treat before changing water. A big part is water temp, need to bring it to room temp before mixing, and also treat for chlorine prior.

I'd only do 50% for freshwater, and less % for salt water.

This is from reeftank and homebrewing background.

that pretty much answered my question. I wasn't sure if boiling would do anything for the fish/if the things that are wrong with the water in this situation are something that would concern a lil betta

Pretreat your water before drain/fill....normalize temps...you'll be good.

The fish might enjoy the extra "nutrients" in the water

I don't think Beta fish have the same immunity to human waste as talipia. A garbage bottom feeder farm fish that humans eat.

Never eat talipia. It's absolute garbage. Also, don't eat beta fish.
