Some Creepy Things in Grand Rapids Water Since Water Main Break
As most of all of us are aware a large part of Grand Rapids, much of the Northeast side, is under a BOIL WATER ALERT!
So, what happened?
Early yesterday, Sunday, March 17, a large water main burst around Leonard and Union. Water pressure dropped with many homes and businesses without water. Even the Meijer Gardens had to close.
Grand Rapids administration said their staff immediately responded to the drop in pressure, found the break in the system, and made necessary repairs to restore water pressure. Once pressure was restored, water crews began flushing the water system by opening fire hydrants in the affected area.
You may be saying, no biggy, they fixed it and I don't have to worry about it, right? WRONG! Check out what a Reddit Grand Rapids contributor posted after filling a pail with his water!
Okay, that's seriously YUCKY!!!
This is going to take awhile as the city says:
"This loss in pressure has the potential to introduce bacteria into our drinking water. We are under the boil water advisory to address the risk of bacteria in our water. A boil water advisory may stay in effect for 3-4 days as we flush the system and sample water according to State and Federal requirements."
If you're worried about being to stinky, don't.
The city did says it is okay to shower, but please don't drink or brush your teeth with the water until the all clear. Boil your water first or use bottled water!
