I was curious if it's OK still to take showers,brush teeth,do laundry,flush toilet etc...that sorta thing with the water?2. phishfour Says: I am assuming you are in Boston or a suburb (like me). You can do anything you like with the water as long as it does not go in your mouth. Feel free to shower and wash clothes, but do not use it to brush your teeth or wash your dishes.

If you want to ingest the water then you need to have it at a rolling boil for at least 1 minute (not 15 like the other person mentioned). That will kill anything that may be in there.3. Jeremiah Says: well you can still cook and stuff as long as you boil the water for 15 min. taking sohowers and stuff like that should be fine. Tag: My town's water main breaks..?
