The constraints were mandated by state officials after a massive water main break in Weston began dumping eight million gallons an hour into the Charles River. Is this what it takes to dilute the Charles to make it safe to swim in.

Of course they do. July 4. And it takes an army of trucks and men to clean up the mess left by the Massholes. Sort of like Obmam’s inauguration.
You couldn’t pay me enough to go to that thing.

Thank you. I called my daughter and she hadn’t heard - so because of FR being FIRST with the news, she was able to get water before the mad rush.
