In some countries, boil alerts are so common, they have a special song on the radio. No joke. A jingle that plays with the alert. “Boil your water, doo-doo-doo.”
In the U.S., the EPA requires water utilities to notify the public within 24 hours. That’s fast. That’s why you get that buzz on your phone at 6 AM.
So next time you see a boil alert, don’t groan. Embrace it. Boil some noodles. Make a huge pot of soup. And tip your glass to the beaver who made it all possible. 🦫💧
