I just took the coldest and shortest shower of my life. It was really uncomfortable at first but i got through it. Probably should have done this when it was 72 degrees outside.
78758 here and our water is milky brown and smells AWFUL. We've been boiling it at a good rate and dumping the result in my sous vide reservoirs but this has me wondering if even that is safe considering the color/odor.
We had something bit same happen when there was major maintenance work done to neighborhood main waterlines. Once water was turned back on it was milky with bit of an odor as work done + return of the water / pressure so system got rust etc. moving that had been forming in the main lines for decades. We were told to run the water until it cleared, took a bit.
If not looking to run up water bill I would reach out to your local water municipal and ask them for what course of action to take.

Man, went to eat last night at Carpenter's Hall (our water is off, and it was outside and distanced, dont @ me) and most tables were just bitching about the power outage. Seemed like most people there were local and most of central Austin was offline from Sunday-Thursday.
Then this woman at one of the tables just started talking to everyone super loud there about how we are all pussies and can't handle the cold, and she lived in Maine once and the problem wasn't the power outage but that Texan's just can't drive in ice and it was our fault not the Governor. After the near riot calmed down she admitted she only lost power for 2 hours.
Mother fuckers that start 2" from the finish line always with the boot strap advice.
I swear to god, its like the entire country thinks we don't know what ice and snow are and none of us have ever ventured outside (or lived outside of) the state.
Like, I've lived through Blizzards in NYC. They sucked, but my apartment was never below freezing inside.

"It's unacceptable for customers to bear the cost on their monthly bill so we'll make you bear the cost over a longer period of time" Why can't we get some of that sweet bailout money that money that private corporations get?
77 in irving, and it was a beautiful breezy day outside. its like last week never even happened.
The whole "If you don't like the weather" saying to the extreme lol.
