That would include my house. I wish they had told me this before I drank the water.

@1: I wouldn't worry about it, Goldy. It'll probably just turn you into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

It's weird how Seattle Public Utilities has no way of directly contacting the residents affected by this. If I hadn't been looking at Slog, I would never of known.

@5 Yeah, I thought there was something wrong with our plumbing and I was about to get the landlord over when I read this on Slog. How are we supposed to find out about this stuff?

I live 4 blocks outside the zone. I should probably stick to bottled water, too, I bet.

@9 If that main included your house, they would have put you on that list. It's not like they had a discussion "Hey do you suppose it might affect a larger area?" "Nah, let those guys fend for themselves."

You know what pays for water main repairs? TAXES!! I'm with Ron Paul: Abolish Seattle Public Utilities altogether and let the people work it out!

@10

If you mean germs, yes. Germs can't magically travel between two pipes that aren't connected to each other. But cooties? Cooties can spread just by being within spitting distance. Cooties can spread just by thinking about them.

The cootie zone extends at least a mile outside the red box.
