I woke up (545am) to a note left by my roommate to not drink any tap water without boiling

I looked it up and uh, gotta say, the very brief articles/info on it aren't exactly inspiring confidence.

Parts. If the whole city was under a boil order, it would be big news.

True. It's also directly in the middle of where I live.

Also the middle of where I work. Lmao I work at Starbucks. We literally cannot make a single drink, yet the direction as of this moment is to stay open and just... Clean. Cool.

So my favorite part of this is I start work in an hour, and I still don't know if I'm even going in to work or not

Edit: Finally got the word - not going in. Would have been nice to know more than 5 minutes before I needed to leave, but such is life

The boil order is because of a leak on a high-pressure water main inside the Roseland Pumping Station

Ah, shouldn't be that long I'd imagine.

Ah, was worried for a second. Was wondering why I didnt see anyone email about this at work, usually someone will say something, even if it is a metra line having major delays.

not doing the maintenance really screwed us all so we could have drinking water.

We had one a couple of months ago. There was a momentary loss of pressure in a high pressure system which risked contamination. It took two days before we got the all-clear.

I don't start until 230pm hopefully it's resolved by them. Today was just a short 5.5hour shift so no big deal, but missing 7.5hour ontop is going to be really felt on my next check.

Timing may depend on local/state laws. Ours probably lasted longer than it needed to but in Florida, all testing and waiting period protocols must be completed before a notice can be lifted.
