In a show of solidarity with those effected in the Portland area, I will refrain from drinking tap water, and replace my liquid intake with Coors Light.
Portland boil water alert lifted: Here's what to do But before using tap water, or using ice from a machine, here's what residents need to do: Flush pipes and faucets by running cold water faucets continuously for at least five minutes. Flush water coolers by running those with direct water connections for five minutes. Flush home automatic ice makers by making three batches of ice cubes. Discard all three batches. Run water softeners through a regeneration cycle. Drain and refill hot water heaters set below 113 degrees Fahrenheit. Change all point-of-entry and point-of-use water filters, including those associated with equipment that uses water.
