There has been a warning issued not to drink tap water in Vancouver for the next few days:
"More than two million residents of B.C.'s Lower Mainland have been told to consider boiling their water in the wake of the big storm that blew through the area on Wednesday.
The Greater Vancouver Regional District issued the advisory Thursday, warning that the brown, cloudy tap water increases the risk of gastrointestinal illness." Source - CBC.ca
The GVRD is advising people not to brush their teeth or wash veg in it. Not that the icky colour of the water itself isn't enough warning not to drink it. You can boil it and filter it, but its still not pretty to look at. Very hard to get over that psychological barrier. We headed out to look for some bottled water for our kitty, and every store in the West End is sold out! .. Here is hoping it is back soon, as we have one jug of cloudy boiled water in the fridge. In truth, however, I have no real grounds to complain about something like water ... but still, yuck:(
