"It's safe to drink, but don't do laundry"

That's what the city of Seattle said about our water after this happened today. It's not near my place, but affects my water. It's particularly annoying this Wednesday night, because I'd planned on doing several loads of laundry while catching up on some DVR'ed Grey's and Ugly Betty's. I'm also a bit concerned because they said the water was OK to drink, but not to do laundry because bits of dirt could get in your clothes. Now I'm thinking, if the waters not good enough for my clothes, then it's not good enough to drink. But that's just me.
