[RP TownTalk] Fw: Alert-Boil Water Advisory

[Sarah Wayland]

Just to be clear, you only need to boil the water for 1 minute and the
advisory is in place for 48 hours. :-)

"WSSC says water should be brought to a rolling boil for one minute and
cooled before drinking it, washing dishes, brushing your teeth, or using it
to prepare food. Water for pets should be boiled and then cooled for use.

"The advisory is in place for 48 hours."
