(CNN) -- About 670,000 residents in Oregon were advised Friday to boil drinking water after several tests showed E. coli in some water samples, the Portland Water Bureau said.

Wow if it's not kids peeing in the water it's E. coli, just can't win.

ha!

We bought a Berkey water filter. We still use our tap most of the time. Now, though, if I have an issue with my primary water source, I can at least filter a rather large amount of water to keep up with the needs of cooking/cleaning.

Good luck, Oregonians!

The funny thing about this was that it took 3 days or so after the first dirty test came in to call the boil water alert. That being said I doubt there was much of a real danger, but I heard stories about people who thought they were sick. Power of suggestion?

The three days was for the second tests to ensure it wasn't a false positive.
