UPDATE 8:47 PM May 1, 2010

MWRA has been able to stop the leak at the pipe in Weston. Water is now being delivered through the emergency back-up reservoir system. Water pressure is stable.

Please remember that a Boil Water is in effect for the following communities until otherwise notifies [sic] and water use should be restricted to essential use only.

Confusing instructions...

From http://www.mass.gov/dep/water/drinking/boilordr.htm :
"Clorox© or Purex© can be used at a dose of 8 drops (1/8 teaspoon) of bleach to each gallon of water."

The PDF on the same site says:
"Clorox© or Purex© can be used at a dose of 8 drops (or 1 teaspoon) of bleach to each gallon of water. (Careful measurement with a clean dropper or other accurate measuring device is required when using liquid chlorine bleach.)"

So, IS IT one teaspoon per gallon or 1/8 of a teaspoon/gallon?

The leak may be stopped, but it's not 'fixed' as your headline states. They shut off the water; the leak stopped. There is no current ETA for when the leak will be fixed and the water supply returned to normal.
