Water Outage, and More? - Wednesday, February 2, 2005
There was a water outage throughout the dorm area in the afternoon, and I thought some construction crew had broken a pipe again. When we were at dinner the water was restored, and with my mouth burning from all the spicy food, I could not help but visit the soda machine multiple times to fill my glass with water.
Only after dinner did I find out that the water outage was not localized to UCLA, but it affected a large area around here. On the Internet, I read that there had been some leak at a DWP reservoir and there was an advisory to boil tap water before drinking it, because there might be harmful levels of bacteria and other organisms in the water. And that's when my stomach starting hurting.
