    Anyone planning on boiling all their water for a while? Planning on drinking nothing but beer all weekend? Gonna do anything else different as a result of the e-coli in the water?

    I'm going to drink a bunch of tap water this weekend because Troutdale wasn't affected :)

    Not if you're still living in Tualatin. We rich folk in the south suburbs have our own water supply, and it doesn't involve sewage overflows.

    Re: ERMAGERD--Boil your water!!

    Just saw the Portland/e coli thing reported on CNN. They say it's the first time in 30 years that a city has had a water boil mandate to schools without first having a natural disaster.

    Democrats really know how to use those high tax rates to better the lives of their citizens.

    Papa, check your privilege at the door, son.

    You live in a white-bred suburb where you don't deal with such travesties (but make up for it in property taxes). It's a plot against hipsters, democrats, people that aren't white, etc.

    Is it true that when ecoli is in spinach it's because the workers are taking shits in the field? Probably some homeless dudes shitting and bathing in the water

    Glad I have horrible Vegas tap water. I have maybe drank a gallon or two in 8 years of living here.

    meh I drank some last night before i went bed. katu said that repeat test samples from the same reservoir came up negative. they just had positives from 2 or 3 different reservoirs though.
    So idk. most likely not an issue.
    /knock on wood.
