Fun with the NYC Water Advisory

Fun! The city just issued a water boiling advisory for today, citing high levels of “particles” in the drinking water supply. Evidently these “particles” can interfere with the water chlorination process and cause all sorts of issues in people with less than stellar immune systems. Rockin’!
Also, evidently the Health Department asked doctors to increase testing for parasitic illnesses and immediately report any diseases, as well as any increase in gastrointestinal symptoms.
I found four articles [1] referencing [2] this [3] advisory [4], but no one mentions what these “particles” are. Any guesses on what we might be dealing with? Good thing I only drink bourbon…
