The Metropolitan District Commission says microscopic organisms called "copepods" and "rotifers" have been found in the drinking water distribution system for Reservoir No. 6 in Bloomfield.
While the MDC says these organisms are not harmful to humans, they are telling customers to boil their water for at least a minute before drinking.
This warning affects residents of Bloomfield, Glastonbury, Portland, Windsor, Hartford, East Hartford, West Hartford, South Windsor and parts of East Granby and Windsor Locks. Customers in Rocky Hill, Newington, Farmington/Unionville, and Wethersfield are not affected.
Well, aren't we lucky here in West Hartford? Sorry Rocky Hill, but these corepods are all ours. Jealous? And why bother to tell us they aren't harmful if they're so set on us boiling the buggers to death?

I guess that they want you to cook your food before you eat it.
Check this out, from nbc 30's article this morning:
Windsor Superintendent Elizabeth Feser said she spoke with health officials who said it was safe for them to have students at the school. As a precaution, the schools sent a voicemail message to parents, advising them to boil any water that they use.
Um, really? Were these plankton-sized crustaceans going to grow enormously and devour the students or something? Why the hell couldn't the school potentially have students IN it? Silly.
