WWhat the hell guys?

Um, WHOA! And people thought *our* water was funky....like you all don't have enough issues with water up there.

Good luck...you can come take a bath with us if you don't mind driving 10 hours :)

Yeah--wish I'd had this info prior to showering and brushing my teeth this am. At least I made my tea with filtered water. Meh.

Theres probably not much to worry about. Most places that would have dangerous stuff connected to the water system are equipped with backflow preventers that break the connection to the water supply. It becoming mandated that all buildings have them.

Would you mind taking the inbox info off of this? I don't think it could get me in trouble, but it's possible.

Whoops! Sorry. Didn't realize I'd copied that part too. Gone now =)

That said, if I'm ever under a big boil notice I'm using the big pressure cooker. Nothing will survive...

Same here dude. I'll be using my pressure cooker tonight. =)

Thank you, Thomas, for posting this! **hug**

FYI: I just called the DeKalb county Public Information Officer. Zip Code 30360 in Doraville, which is NOT LISTED in the zip codes, is EXCLUDED from the affected area.

Apparently, I’m the second person to call with this question. They are going to update the website with that information.

If you live in zip code 30360, she suggested we check the web site periodically just in case they add it.
