City Water Safe

· · 🌡️ 37°F

Now I feel bad because @enknot and I bought a lot of bottled water last night. I can't believe it will take 8 or 9 days to restore power to everyone.

Boil Water Order For Erie County Authority Customers

The Erie County Water Authority has issued a boil water advisory for all customers. The authority wants all customers to bring water to a rolling boil for 2 minutes and let it cool, before consuming.

The boil water advisory is only for cutomers of the Erie County Water Authority. Residents in cities such as Buffalo and Tonawanda recieve water from a different source and are not subject to the advisory.

The advisory has been issued because the main pumping station for the water authority is without power. When power is restored, water may include bacteria.

Erie County officials want all residents to consume water spareingly, due to the natural disaster caused by the Friday lake effect snow storm.

    paul, do you still have power?

    Ya we have power and electricity and my cell phone works fine. It's a miracle because within a block of us it is pitch black at night. I am surprised there was no looting. In any bigger city I think there would have been. Then again I only know about this one little part of town.
