So says the MWRA updates page (yes, refresh it).
Community Update
The 120” pipe connection has been repaired, pressurized and put back into service. Fully treated water has been distributed to the MWRA system since about 6 PM on Sunday and is expected to continue. Water pressure in MWRA service area is in typical ranges.
Please remember that a Boil Water Order is in effect for the following communities until otherwise notified and water use should be restricted to essential use only.
Those 24 packs of Poland Springs were seen this morning (from overnight deliveries to stores) but were still awfully small piles for all 2 million folks affected. Thank goodness for Cambridge; you can still drive there today to buy your coffee; their drinking water was always clean.
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

I have found that biking, walking, and taking the T also work for getting to Cambridge.

Our water is now a fashionable tinge of green and each boil up is tasting nastier and nastier. I can only hope to stop drinking Spot Pond sometime in the very near future.
Still no complaints here

Based on location and proximity, I assume we're drinking Chestnut Hill Reservoir, and it's still relatively tasty.

We tried to get ahead of the curve on boiling, because I figured the sludge from the bottom of the spare reservoirs would soon work its way into the system. I have about 15 clean gallons, should last my family about a week.
This is why I did my laundry in Cambridge today

After reading your comments here and on Facebook, I decided to take my clothes to North Cambridge Laundromat instead of using the washers in my Somerville apartment building.
The MWRA hasn't made any statements about whether or not it's a good idea to do laundry with the current semi-treated water.
Oh, the irony in this tap water...
