West Virginia Officials Say Water Ban to be Lifted Soon

6. Yep, it's inconvenient.

Somebody from the county keeps coming by the local church to give bottled drinking water to folks but they never seem to let anybody know when they will be there and then they are gone before we find out they had been there. There's a fire department nearby and I could always go there to get water any time of day.

All area restaurants are closed. By state law they must have potable running water to open. Hospitals are open, of course, but they're only cooking for patients so their cafeterias are closed.

But it's not as bad for me personally as you might imagine. We can't use our tap water for anything whatever except flushing the toilet. But we're lucky to have a potable water supply here on our property. And being a country boy, I'm used to cooking my own food. I just fixed 5 gallons of my famous deer stew. I wish I could share a bowl with you, it's really good.

Do you know how much water you need to take an actual bath? A shitload, that's how much. I know this from personal experience last night. I've been using the propane burner of my turkey deep fryer setup to heat water. I can have 5 gallons boiling in a hurry.
