Wow if it's not kids peeing in the water it's E. coli, just can't win.

ha!
We bought a Berkey water filter. We still use our tap most of the time. Now, though, if I have an issue with my primary water source, I can at least filter a rather large amount of water to keep up with the needs of cooking/cleaning.

Good luck, Oregonians!

The funny thing about this was that it took 3 days or so after the first dirty test came in to call the boil water alert. That being said I doubt there was much of a real danger, but I heard stories about people who thought they were sick. Power of suggestion?

The three days was for the second tests to ensure it wasn't a false positive.
