The Blanchard boil order continues, going on the 4th day.
They say the problem is "fixed" but the bad water still exist in the water supply.
News reports were saying they had hoped to have the boil order lifted on Thursday, but that was no go.
I called Blanchard Utilities late last night, and was told it could still be a few more days of this #$@#$.
What ticks me off so much about this, is the general unacceptable quality of the Blanchard water in the first place. I pay a small fortune to have Music Mountain water delivered to my home for drinking purposes anyway.
In Blanchard, if you are a day or two late in paying your water bill, they CUT YOU OFF. I wonder if I'll get some kind of freakin' discount on my upcoming water bill.. I doubt it.. but damn. You'd think in this day and age you should be able to drink the damn water in an American town. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
The latest update I could find:
Blanchard boil order continues; mayor says problem fixed
Quote:
Blanchard officials say the water-boil order put into effect Tuesday afternoon will continue until contaminated water is out of the water system.
"We got the problem fixed," said Blanchard Mayor Johnny Digilormo. "The contaminated water has to go through the system and be filtered out so the new water can go through."
Digilormo says officials at the Blanchard water plant worked to unplug a chemical pipe that allowed untreated water to mix with treated water that went to residents' homes Tuesday and Wednesday.
"Everything is fine now but we are waiting to lift up the boil order," the mayor said.
