This is going to affect the Baltimore body count. Nobody's shooting anybody when they're all at home crapping their guts out

 

[Fushigi Ojisan]

Presumably the Baltimore County advisory is merely cautionary. No positive tests in the county, even within the zone identified, last I saw. Some 1,500 buildings affected, though.

We live in the "Boil Zone" and now the wife and daughter are paranoid of the tap water. Boiling our water...what is this - the Congo? Somehow this just fits in with the utter incompetence and neglect of the City government.

In addition to boiling water at home, here’s where residents can obtain water.

The city’s Department of Public Works will distribute water at three locations Wednesday beginning at 9 a.m.:

• Harlem Park Elementary/Middle School, 1401 W. Lafayette Ave.
• Middle Branch Park, 3301 Waterview Ave.
• Lansdowne Library, 500 Third Ave.

Water distribution began Tuesday. Mayor Brandon Scott said in a news release that 172,000 bottles of water had been distributed by 6 p.m. Tuesday.

A water buffalo tank will be at the Lansdowne Library and the Middle Branch Park locations. DPW will provide jugs. Residents and facilities needing water are encouraged to bring their own containers. A maximum of 3 gallons will be distributed per household. Check here to see where the water boil advisory applies.

Baltimore County residents can get water from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Fire Station 5 at 4501 Washington Boulevard in Halethorpe, at the Lansdowne Library and at Our Lady of Victory in Baltimore.

A precautionary boil water advisory was issued Monday for Southwest Baltimore County. DPW’s most recent water samples from that area were negative for E. coli and total coliform.

I'm in that zone too. People are losing their minds on the community pages... FFS if you don't have at least a case of water after the past couple years BS, you didn't learn a damn thing... The interactive map lists the sample areas and green dots mean good. The sample spot is literally 3 blocks from my abode... I did however make my coffee with bottled water this morning just in case. And will probably hit the library on way home for a jug or 2 for my coffee... Gotta love the continually crumbling baltimore infrastructure...

Trump's fault.

 

[Afrikeber]

….wait won’t the plastic leaching into the bottled water kill you too?

No one has ever had to boil Bourbon.

The immunocompromised, kids and seniors advised to avoid drinking water in parts of Baltimore area after parasite detected​

Some manner of contamination from the Druid Hill reservoir is affecting water in a large portion of the Baltimore area. Presumably low risk to healthy people.

DPW Detects Low Levels of Cryptosporidium During Routine Testing of Druid Lake Reservoir

Today, the Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) announced that during a routine test of the Druid Lake Reservoir low levels of the microscopic parasite Cryptosporidium were discovered. Cryptosporidium is a microorganism commonly found in lakes and rivers, which can potentially cause gastrointestinal problems, particularly, in those who are immunocompromised, elderly, or children.

This detection impacts only a portion of the Baltimore region water system, in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and Howard County. The affected area is shown in the map below.

Please rest assured that our drinking water remains safe for the general population. This is not related, or in any way comparable, to previous water-related issues. Residents can use an Interactive Map to determine if they live in an impacted area.

Boil water? I'll wait for the vaccine!

Looks Like Baltimore city just sent notice out for cryptosporidium Great any suggestions which filter system to use?

 

[Stoveman]

HoCo says that it's more widespread in the county than the map listed above.

I'm thinking reverse osmosis filters will do that.
