Houston flood thread of dominance 2020

[NeverMarryAStripper 21948]

Who the fuck drinks Houston tap water anyway.  I busted my ass the last two days helping my son study for his math test today.  I get up today and find out that there's no school because of the boil water notice.  Fuck that, there's not a single person in the whole district that would have been affected by the boil water notice.  This is worse than when they close the schools because of one snowflake.

Do they serve the kids Fiji and Perrier through the water fountain at your son's school?

So don't drink from the water fountain is considered to complicated for the students to understand.  I doubt if my son has used a water fountain once the entire time he's been in school.

Kingwood continues to hate being technically "in" Houston but dodged a bullet here.

Per Turner’s press conference, seems like the boil notice will be lifted tomorrow (Saturday) morning. They took samples this morning but they have to sit on them for 18 hours before submission to TCEQ. The city’s own samples have been coming back clear.

 

One thing that’s not been made very clear is when exactly it’s safe to use the water after the notice is lifted. Are we supposed to run the faucets for a while and discard the first few batches of ice, etc?

I've heard between 5 to 15 minutes for each faucet, including the shower...both hot and cold.  Also run the washer a couple times...
