Filter the water first and then boil it. That should take most of the grungy coloring out. At least that's what I've heard.

^Exactly... the water isnt THAT bad. If we grew up in the woods our bodies would be immune to it. The brown water is probably a lot better for you than the crap you find in pop.

I havent stopped brushing my teeth or washing my hands with the water problem. Keep in mind I live in the Seymour area in North Vancouver aka the worst of water in all of the lower mainland. Anyways I have'nt had any problems or felt even the slightest bit sick at all. As long as you dont actually drink the water or soak any parts of your body with it (open wounds, ears, eyes) I don't think it can do much unless you have a weak immune system.

filtering doesn't work. i boiled water and then tried to filter it out in a new brita filter that i bought for the occasion. i put the same water through several times and it did nothing. the sediment is too fine for brita :(

also, i let some water evaporate and it left this layer of gross yellow-brown dust on the bottom of the pot. gross.

Rhia, you know how sensitive my stomach is. And how sick some foods can make me.

I am not taking any chances.

Recondensate, ie:catch the steam from the boiling water so it runs off into a bowl, thats how ya get clean clean clean water.

crookedking · #21 (**permalink**) Nov 19, 06

^^^that's what i've been doing.

If there was a serious water problem, people would have started getting sick by now. Despite the advisory, some people would've ignored it, and some wouldn't have been aware of it. And the media would've jumped all over any water poisoning stories.

crookedking · #23 (**permalink**) Nov 19, 06

another thing to do if you're really thirsty and don't trust the water in your taps is this: breath on your window and lick the condensation. it's not really enough to make that sandpaper effect in your throat go away, but at least it feels good on your tongue.

brita water filters won't work for filtering the water.

trying running the water through a few coffee filters after boiling it and letting it cool. that should take out a lot more of the dirt and make the water run clearer...

i'm being careful with the water as i was painfully sick on friday night. no fun at all. i got over it quick enough, but if that was from the water, i'd rather not go through it again. so i'm avoiding it just to be on the safe side.
