We have been under a boil water alert since Tuesday in Satellite Beach and the surrounding areas from Pineda Causeway to Eau Gallie Causeway. Apparently a fire hydrant replacement went awry and a water main “erupted” and contaminated the drinking water of about 12,000 homes and businesses. The full story is here.
Personally this had been a huge hassle. On Tuesday when it first happened we had really low water pressure but no one knew why. I had been out at a friends house for dinner and was informed of the low pressure, when I got home, but we didn't know we had to boil the water. We thought we just had to wait a while getting water from the fridge or faucet. Then we had no water at all. I got a text from my sister in law asking if we knew we were on a boil water alert. I told her no and thanked her, for letting us know. I looked it up on line and saw what happened and that the alert would continue until Friday, when they would test the water and hopefully say it was ok.

I was worried there wouldn't be any left, but they were pretty well prepared at Publix, as usual. I have been boiling water for washing dishes and for the dogs and the plants. I have been boiling a lot of water. It's getting pretty old. I am really hoping the alert is lifted tomorrow.
