Thanks for the link, pinkfreud. I didn't know that boiled water should be cooled thoroughly before drinking. I'm sure supermarkets are doing well in selling bottled water now.pinkfreud wrote:The Vancouver Coastal Health Authority has some information too:

Heavy wind and rain.Solar Max wrote:Umm...sorry but for those of us that are out of town....was it a windstorm or something?
Here in the colonies experienced some wind and some rain also. Don't think there was a water advisory though. Whatever would we dilute our fish juice with?Solar Max wrote:Umm...sorry but for those of us that are out of town....was it a windstorm or something?
Seeing as how the whole GVRD is under the boil-water advisory I wouldn't drink it. I don't know how the Coquitlam resevoir is, but the Seymour and Capilano watersheds are obviously shot.KnowItAll wrote:North Delta water still fine. We must get our water from the 3rd resevoir(sp?)that did not have as bad readings
we been drinking bought water for the last 12 yrs anyhow. One good thing about that is we always have between 30 and 60 gallons of drinking water for any emergency that might happen.MacNews wrote:Seeing as how the whole GVRD is under the boil-water advisory I wouldn't drink it.

Put it in a cup and look for brown. Go ahead, the risk is mild, but if you've got those big jugs in your house anyways, just use that.KnowItAll wrote:on the plus side, the water is completely clear, none of the brown they been showing on TV.
I think they're stating that as a safety precaution, so that people don't burn themselves. When they write these things, they can't assume eveyone has common sense.Robbie wrote:Thanks for the link, pinkfreud. I didn't know that boiled water should be cooled thoroughly before drinking.

Ya, the bacteria are colourless. The brown colour is from the dirt and muck, which is a red flag that the water might contain higher than normal levels of bacteria. Even if your water isn't brown, I would do as MacNews says and use your bottled water.MacNews wrote:Put it in a cup and look for brown.
