Yes, I was just curious. I heard over the news that we can't drink our water now.
It's a possibility. I haven't heard anything yet.
Would that apply if we wanted to take a shower or bath or anything?
You're not supposed to restrict all your water use anyway because the lift stations aren't able to handle it.
But I don't know if their water is contaminated or not. They haven't had any messages yet from anybody, so I'm not sure.
The EOC department is flooded, so they are just transferring over to another station. I'm sorry, I don't have any more information yet.
So it's better not to do it?
I guess it's better to do it. I'm sorry, yeah.
Okay, bye.
