It seems things like public heath advisories wouldn't be behind a paywall but then what do I know.

Think of the money county drain commissioners saved for 40+ years kicking county treatment facility improvements down the road.

It looks like I'm going to be boiling water for up to two more weeks, so that will be fun.

BTW, a watched pot does boil. Eventually. I saw it yesterday.

Sorry Floyd. Ours got lifted yesterday. But my kids daycare was closed. Although they got approval from their legal person to operate tomorrow. We just all have to bring in water for our kids.

That doesn’t mean you don’t have to shower for two weeks. We want Floyd posting here, not Smelly Floyd.

Advisory was lifted here yesterday. Wasn't worried anyway because the water pressure seemed normal.

I've already taken two. I probably ingested some bad shit and dead Floyd will be posting before smelly Floyd.

I got lucky the in-laws could take them today. But I had one day only
So I got really lucky.

Any of the stores get more water? I heard some places were handing some out for free.

Plenty of Gatorade at most stores

My instincts told me to avoid nearby stores because they'd be out. I heard there was a line out the door at the Hall Rd Costco yesterday from just people wanting water and they sold out. I've got the boiling down for home, but needed a few cases for our office l. I went out of the area to hit the Meijer at Van Dyke & Metro Pkwy at 7:30 this morning and got what I needed, minus some gallon jugs which were all gone.

If any of you affected by this need bottled water, let me know and I can check our stores, then meet you halfway. If our stores are low or out because they’ve shifted stock to your area, I have 3-4 cases I keep on hand if we run into a problem here. You’re welcome to it. We are down to one car at the moment, while the other is being retrofitted for a flux capacitor, but I’m sure we can figure something out.

Thanks Greenway.
I think I'm ok. I have to supply a gallon of water for each kid at daycare. But my area is now good. So I can just fill up mine from home to bring in.
