Quoting: ~Newton's Own~ Thankfully we were ready for this and haven't been using tap water for 2 days. Us too. Also already prepared.

User ID: 77547432 Canada 02/18/2021 08:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I made EQ kits each had one of these. [link to ecozoom.com (secure)] WHen they arrived, we did a trial run on one. Using nothing but mildly damp, yet withered (yellowed) grass from along the fence line. 20 qts of water was brought to boil in 12 minutes. Try that on propane, electric, a simple woodstove top with a burner or two. Now, since everyone can not run and buy one right now....maybe cinderblocks, though less effiecent, might be a way for people to at least be able to collect woodscraps, break up some unused furniture or whatever...and boil water easily. You can run it on an apartment balcony. Just not indoors.

Keep Texas Free! User ID: 5380225 United States 02/18/2021 08:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hence the boil water notice. It is State law. You could encounter cryptosporidium, gardia, E.Coli, and other nasties. Depending on your locarion in regards to the actual break, you may smell a heavy chlorine odor. That's the water company trying to disinfect the pipe while repairing it. |

(OP) User ID: 77801149 United States 02/18/2021 08:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When a water line breaks, it will suck in ditch water when repaired. It's almost impossible to flush out or sanitize while you are repairing it. Quoting: Wingnut1234, back in the USSA Hence the boil water notice. It is State law.

Yeah I know to let the line run for a while but we are going to water stock, which is good i have it, but also bad because we are on limited stock, even though i have plenty. Water rationing in effect. Dont know how long this will last. A coward dies a thousand times, but the valiant need taste of death but once. Fear cuts deeper than swords. #Notmypresident. |
