But boiling water takes energy, so all those Porlandians boiling their water will contribute to Portland’s carbon footprint, causing more global warming.

Also, many thousands of Portlandians are in danger of serious injury because they may not have been warned that one must allow the water to cool before drinking it. Did the “boil before drinking” notification come with detailed safety instructions?

"E. coli is organic."

And in Portland, if it's organic - it's GOT to be good!

Hope this doesn’t put restaurants out of business as they will probably have to close during this notice.

And worth twice the price. Portland gets their water from Bull Run Reservior. Elk, deer, bear, otter, raccoon and coyote crap in it all day long.

Nahh....when the waiters offer a glass of water they'll just ask, "One lump or two?"

You’d think they’d be immune. Most Portlanders are already full of s-—.
