I live in Naperville. Just got this



Never heard of a boil order before. Google tells me this:

A boil-water advisory, boil-water notice, boil-water warning, boil-water order, or boil order is a public-health advisory or directive issued by governmental or other health authorities to consumers when a community's drinking water is or could be contaminated by pathogens.


I don't have bottled water and don't feel like getting any. I will embrace the risk and refuse an ICU bed should I need one as the result of this poor decision.

Is there a chance that if boil the water I’ll get sick anyway ?

Nope. I've been posting here for over 14 years. You just now realized I don't know shit about life in general?

Good point, I should know better.

Let's do a controlled study. You boil the water and drink it (gotta drink it while it's boiled for science), I'll drink it plain. Let's see if we are both posting here this time next week.

I will feel bad if you get sick even if you ignore the order.

Odd how I would not ignore a boil order. I think I heard too many stories in a Sanitation class I took.

As you were obviously unaware of, boil orders have been in place for a long time so I’m assuming they work. Meaning I won’t get sick if I boil my water. Kind of not like the Covid vaccine right?

we had a boil order one year right as school started. Talk about a night mare getting enough bottled water for every kid to have a few each day.

Doesn't seem to have anything to do with the covid vaccine, but I know everything, everywhere, is tied to the vaccine for guys like you.

What are the stories?

Your post has me leaning towards not being a dumbass and going to get bottled water

the notice they published is odd. they dont even blame a specific event. seems like routine sampling came back hot and they dont know why.

I got that alert when I was in Muncie a few years back. It lasted a day or so out of precaution. Don't be stupid. Drink alcohol, soda, or bottled/gallon water. If nothing is wrong with the water, you'll get an alert tomorrow saying return to normal.

Go get a few gallons of bottled water. You don't want to risk the alternative over $10-20. Even showering in bad water is something you want to avoid.

Fair enough advice. I guess I'll get my lazy ass up and go get some water.

Funny you are willing to inject yourself with something we really don't know about so they still make you wear a mask but you are too lazy to drive to the Jewels and spend $4.

They would issue a boil order for water being contaminated or possibly being in some way. Could be chemical, parasitic, or biological and includes things like pesticides, sewage, toxins from businesses, parasites, or any other diseases. Depending on what the situation is, common water illnesses that you could be signing up for are Hep A, giardia, e coli and stuff like that.

My dad tells a story of walking through a rice paddy in nam after a napalming. There were burnt bodies and a chemical residue on the water. It was hotter than balls and he was out of water so he asked the Vietnamese National they were with to get him some water. They were gone for about 30 seconds so there was no way he didn’t get it from the paddy. He looked at the dude, grabbed a couple of the purification pills, tossed them in, shook it up and quenched his thirst with luke warm soup. Rangers lead the way and I guess he didn’t die so just use some iodine pills or whatever the hell they used jn the army in 1969 and you’ll the pipe breaking in Naperville.

The Army injected me with all sorts of shit I didn't know about upon my arrival to basic training so not really a new thing for me. 200 million Americans received the vaccine. All but a handful are fine. I know enough to take those odds any day of the week.

I don't know how the mask thing plays into this but I never wear one and haven't ever worn one when not required to. I don't think they do a fucking thing really.

Like Doc's hypocrisy, my laziness knows no bounds.

I keep an electric kettle in the house for boil orders. I think I picked it up for $10. Boils 1/2 gallon in a few minutes.

How the hell does a human being live to be into their 30s and never hear of a boil order?


Also, keeping a half dozen 5 gallon water bottles around is still a great idea.

it's not your position to decide if masks work or not. just fucking wear one when they tell you to. stop asking questions, as you chose to do with vaccines. just get all of it and dont question anything, or you will become a murderer.

It's really not that stressful or difficult of a choice to not wear a mask where it's not required. I don't understand this "but THEY are making us do it!" bitching and moaning I see on this board all the time in regards to this shit.

Do you pay your water bill to Plainfield or Naperville? If it’s Naperville then you’re fine. They send those out to surrounding communities because some share city services.

Fucking Spaulding and RR made me go buy water for nothing. I knew I was fine just being reckless and not giving a shit.

I miss Hipster's in Downtown Naperville. They were boiling orders all the time.
