City Don't Drink the Water

Posted by on Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 3:08 PM

Finally...

A drinking water advisory for part of South Seattle, in effect since yesterday morning, has been lifted after extensive lab tests confirmed the water is safe to drink.

As a precaution, Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) had asked customers in an area of southeast Seattle to refrain from drinking or cooking with tap water following an early morning loss of water pressure Wednesday that affected about 1300 homes and businesses.

“We collected 13 samples yesterday to ensure water quality was maintained in the area affected by water pressure loss,” said Wylie Harper, lab director for Seattle Public Utilities. “Results of the tests, completed today, confirm the water quality is good.”

You don't fully appreciate indoor plumbing until you don't have it. Can't wait to go home and take a shower.

Bet your co-workers feel that way, too.

Let it run for a while.

Toby, I wouldn't trust you to tell me that the sky is blue.

How do you find out if this sort of thing happens for your neighborhood?
