We are on water safety alert

I was just speaking to someone and she told me that even the Starbuck's are refusing customers.

is right! Hope your water gets better soon.

Ugh.. I'm fairly certain I drank some of the water now. I've been feeling nauseous since yesterday and now my tummy ain't agreeing with me.

Ashley, be careful. Our water really does contain some nasty stuff. I just got through boiling 3 pots full of water that I will filter through tomorrow. Nasty business. I'm not bothered with trying to find bottled water. I think boiling then filtering will do the trick. God, you should see the colour of my water. Yuck!!!! I can only imagine what victims of a real flood must go through.

[Killearn Kitties]

Slick, you be super-careful with yourself. Your body is still recovering and you don't need to be pouring anything nasty into it! Boil and filter well!

[Randi]

Oh Slick, that's terrible! Do be careful - I know you will! Having to buy bottled water or boil and filter it, is such a pain ....

You take care, and Max too!

[gini]

Oh, I know you will, but please be careful sweet friend. You are still recuperating and we don't have time for any backsliding here.

In all of the years I have been on this dirtball, I have never had to boil water, so this really got my attention.

[Russian Blue]

Yes, please be careful Slick. Do you know how long it will be before the water won't need to be boiled?

Some small Ontario towns have had some water scares over the last few years. In 2000, Walkerton Ontario (about 1.5 hours NW of Toronto) had Canada's worst e-coli outbreak through contaminated water source. So it's not unheard of in these parts, but it always makes you second guess your water source.
