ShareThis May 2, 2010 11:41 a.m. EST Topics: politics, local authority, emergency incident, disaster and accident, health, United States Matt Aug - AHN Sports Editor Boston, MA, United States (AHN) - A state of emergency has been declared in the Greater Boston region due to a huge pipe burst that left nearly two million residents without the use of clean drinking water. Governor Deval Patrick is urging people who live in Boston and 29 other surrounding areas to boil water before drinking it to avoid getting ill. Patrick is also seeking help from bottled water companies and the National Guard to transport clean water to those in need. A 10-foot pipe located in Weston, MA. sprang a leak around 10 a.m. Saturday and the situation grew worse later in the day as Greater Boston was shut off from the Quabbin Reservoir. The pipe reportedly carries 250 gallons per day to about 750,000 households, according to the Boston Herald. Weston and Spot Pond reservoirs can supply residents with a pond-like water recommended only for bathing and flushing water, according to the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority. “This is everyone’s worst nightmare in the water industry,’’Frederick A. Laskey, executive director of the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, told the Boston Globe. Police and hospitals are warning everyone to boil water before use, while crews scramble to install a metal collar to halt the breach in the pipe. The city appears to have a good supply of water for toilets and firefighting purposes, though soaring sales of bottled water is causing shortages at area stores. Restaurants in the suburb of Lexington shut down Saturday night, while police in Revere monitored a BJ's Wholesale Club after a reported run on bottled water occurred.
