We had about 5 large containers with water setting
on kitchen counters, full of melting snow to assist in
sanitation matters.
We are under a water boil order for the forseable future.
Hopefully not any longer than Sunday afternoon. The main break occurred right at the pump station within a mile or so of our house. The 22" cast iron pipe was installed over 150 years ago and many winters of freezing, thawing and the resulting shifting of pipes, soil and "frost heave" had taken their toll. The city installed a temporary line and we have water, though very low pressure and still not ready to drink...boil water notice continues. Thankfully, showers have resumed!
