Winnipeg has issued its second warning advisory I mean notice about the water quality.
Turns out they are advising not to "drink or cook or clean with it."
But "water does not pose a public-health threat"..... but don't drink it?
Durning these water main breaks what exactly is getting flushed into our homes water systems, clogging our pipes, water heaters, washing machines and sinks? How long does the residue sit in our homes pipes before it is flushed out?

City issues notice about water quality
The City of Winnipeg has issued another notice about discoloured drinking water, which it attributes to watermain breaks during a dry summer.
Clay soils in some areas of the city have dried out and shifted, leading some water pipes to burst, the city says in a notice, urging Winnipeggers not to drink discoloured water or cook or clean with it. Nonetheless, the discoloured water does not pose a public-health threat, the city says.
This is the second such notice of the summer. The city claims it has reduced the number of watermain breaks by a factor of five over the last 25 years, mainly through pipe replacements.
Winnipeg’s drinking water is treated by a $300-million treatment plant which opened in December 2009 at Deacon Reservoir.
1:49 PM: Warning and advisory changed to notice in copy and headline.
