Last night some idiot decided that he was gonna dig up the main water line for my city, so the water was off all night and half of today. We are under a boil water advisory since the water now has dirt in it. I’m making noodles for dinner, so should I boil the water before I put the noodles in even though its gonna be boiled anyway? I feel like an idiot, but I don’t know what to do! Thanks =)
He really did dig it up! and I have considered going to his house, but thought better of it =)

Once you boil it, put the salt in it and then the pasta. It’s already boiled anyway !

lol i think you can just boil the water once

Yes, and then pour the boiled water into a clean pan. Can pour through coffee filter to be sure no sediments transfer to clean pan. If you do not boil the water first, the contaminants will boil into the noodles.

lmfao.. what are you talking about? boiling the water and letting it cool and boiling it again.. there is no need to to that.. you just have to boil it once.. and if you are making spaghetti or something you drain the water out anyways..
those stupid a,s,s, west virginians… who would dig into the main water line? what did he do? dig it with a bulldozer or backhoe or something..? lmfao
