OK, so my last post was a false alarm, or at least only a temporary problem. But this comes directly from Penn State so it must be true. Don't drink the water on campus, it has turbidity. See, other people make up words too. What? That's a real word. My bad.

So according to The [digital] Collegian, Penn State put a message on live.psu.edu, but also sent out an advisory through PSUTXT (which I'm not signing up for btw) "regarding high turbidity levels of on-campus potable drinking water and cautioning students not to drink tap water."

If you're anything like me you're saying to yourself, what the **** is turbidity. So let's turn to wikipedia, which says: Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid, or of air, caused by individual particles (suspended solids) that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to smoke in air. The measurement of turbidity is a key test of water quality.

So, what exactly are the "individual particles" floating around in our water? Well, we don't get any answers from Penn State, but they did say it was from the heavy rainfall this week. Oh, and they also say to make sure you boil your water before you drink it. Like that's gonna be happening.

So as the CDT recommends, stick to bottled (or boiled? you're not gonna boil water, please) water for a while for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation.

Or just use beer. You could do that.
