Water update -- the end is in sight

[mzrowan.livejournal.com]

The latest from the MWRA:

The 120" pipe connection has been repaired, pressurized and put back into service. Fully treated water has been distributed to the MWRA system since about 6 PM on Sunday and is expected to continue. Water pressure in MWRA service area is in typical ranges.

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

Essentially every community provided two sets of coliform/water quality samples on Sunday (thank you). Communities will collect a second round of coliform samples today. Collection of these samples will assist with resolution of the open boil water order and we again thank you for your cooperation.

According to news reports, the boil-water order could be lifted tomorrow or Wednesday.

Does anyone know why the Somerville Dunkins are not serving coffee but the medford ones are? Anyone know of other towns where this is happening?

No idea, but I saw this morning that Blue Shirt Cafe and Mr. Crepe were serving coffee, while Diesel, Dunkin Donuts, and Starbucks were not. Diesel has only a take-out window open, not sit-down tables, and closes at 8 tonight.

They're not serving coffee at the Everett DDs either.
