City wide water ban where I live

https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/a...lure-at-plant/
The Houston mayor’s office said it believes the water is safe, but it was forced to issue the notice due to “regulatory requirements.” The earliest the order could be rescinded would be Monday night, but could take until Tuesday morning.

“The @TCEQ has approved the @HouPublicWorks water sampling plan. Workers will begin collecting samples this morning and will do two complete sets to send to the lab for processing,” the mayor’s office tweeted Monday morning.

Yvonne Williams Forrest, Houston Water Director, said the department was following the rules and told KHOU-TV it didn’t believe there was a massive risk.

“Our system maintained pressure, we never lost pressure fully, so there was never an opportunity for anything to enter our system. It just fell below the regulatory environments,” she told the station.
Fell below regulatory environments.

Oh really? So basically if you drink the water you'll get sick or die? Thats how people here are treating it.

No, not at all.

While I'm not exactly familiar what is going on in Houston specifically, often when there is something that causes watermain to lose positive pressure, a boil order will be given if test samples can't be turned around fast enough and/or chlorination isn't viable.

Simply precautionary more often than not.

Bro I kinda lucked out considering all the years in spent at Bragg. But I was always and only drank soda. Anytime I did drink the water it was filtered lol. Or if we were out in the field with the water truck lol.
