Don't drink brown water

I think this advisory from our Coastal Health Authority is a bit like "don't eat the yellow snow". It's a fairly large scale disaster though - we (and the whole Greater Vancouver) are currently under so called "boil water" advisory noting that the tap water isn't safe for drinking, brushing teeth or washing food. We had a huge storm yesterday, and because of that the water supplies have been "unsettled" and it looks brown and muddy. This morning I was standing in the shower thinking that either we were having problems with the water, or that I must be really dirty! I've seen it brown before but this is the worst I've seen it and we've never gotten a boil water advisory before.

This of course caused a lot of discussion at work and a lot of bad jokes (and Don started playing Christina Aguilera's Dirty). Dragon went and bought water so we have water to brush our teeth and make some tea. And then I just went to brush my teeth and completely forgot the whole thing - and when I was just about to rinse my mouth Dragon ran out full speed screaming me to stop... I'm sometimes such a klutz.
