On black friday, they're power-washing the building with just water, and they're not using chemicals. They're putting it up so in todays I'M TRIGGERED environ, nobody freaks out and calls/emails building management to complain.

some urban busybody ends up twitting about it anyway.

Twits are gonna twit.

OMG - that air pollution stuff lands on the building and now it is getting into the water they wash it with and POISONING ALL OF US!

I must go drink colloidal silver in "megadoses"!

not so Fresh Pond....

Wrong! The water comes from the Walter Sullivan Water Treatment Plant. Leaving the plant it is pumped up to the Payson Park Reservoir, a completely closed facility, and flows by gravity to the buildings in Cambridge.

Anyone know why the Cambridge reservoir (Waltham) water level is so low?

I mean, Eastern Massachusetts is facing a minor drought.

The MWRA has been doing "drawdowns" at several reservoirs (such as Chestnut Hill) for invasive plant control. http://www.mwra.com/01news/2015/2015drawdown-chestnuthill.html

Cambridge may be doing a drawdown for similar reasons.

Makes sense. Damn milfoil.

Is the rinse water organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, fair-trade, free-range, and grass-fed??
