Since the city is asking us to cut water usage before we run out of water….how 
about using paper plates and disposables until the issue is remedied?

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.
