Find out why the water is tainted, and with what...
Call your local community resources and find out what the issue is.
Oftentimes, you can boil the water for 20 minutes and drink it, if it is a waterborne parasite.
If it is too many chemicals, you should consider getting bottled water for drinking, toothbrushing, anything that touches your mouth.
If it is parasites, you will need to get tested for parasitic involvement. Speak with your local community public health department regarding what steps to take.
If it is chemicals, then wait until the issue is resolved before going off bottled water.
Actually, in either event, it would be bottled water for me, until it's resolved.....
I would call the community that issued the warning, and find out what the dealio is.
Good luck.

Start boiling any water that you're going to drink. Call the city or whoever runs your water department and ask them what's wrong with the water and what risks you have from drinking it.

u might want to monitor see what happens because sometimes it means there are toxic chemicals in the water at the time...if i was you i would keep an eye on it, maybe see if there is a number on that website to call and see what they tell u? u might have to check with a doctor, i dont know
