Austin Water says it's OK to use water for showering, laundry and washinghands, 
but advises boiling water for drinking, cooking and making ice. Dishes should 
be washed in hot, soapy water and rinsed with boiled water.9 hours ago

So my question is: What about dishwashers?  Their last cycle is a rinse 
cycle, somewhat hot, but not boiling.  Any problems with taking showers?  
Brushing teeth?

City of Austin is recommending 3 minute boil, I believe. Other info - like 
how filtered water ALSO needs to be boiled in the quick fact sheet from CDC 
below.

Passing info for boil water notice on.


(Austin)— Austin Water has issued a city-wide boil water notice for all 
customers of Austin Water. The notice is being issued as the utility 
works to stabilize the water treatment system. Historic flood waters 
flowing into our water supply lakes contain very high levels of silt 
that makes it challenging for the water plants to produce the volume of 
water needed to supply customers at this time. The high level of 
debris, silt and mud requires extended filtration that slows the 
process of getting treated water in to the system. To provide necessary 
water pressure for fire protection, plants must distribute water at 
treatment levels not typical of the utility’s high standards for 
consumption. To ensure that water is safe, customers are asked to boil 
water used for drinking, cooking or ice until further notice. It’s 
important to note that there have been no positive tests for bacterial 
infiltration of the system at this time.
