So maybe boiling a big pot of water, letting the dishwasher run, then doing
an extra "rinse" with the boiling?

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

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.
