Thank you.
I wonder why Cambridge (where I live) is not listed? The surrounding towns are.
edit: according to http://www.mwra.com/02org/html/whatis.htm http://www.mwra.com/02org/html/whatis.htm, Cambridge receives full sewer, but only "emergency backup" water from the MWRA.
edit2: a commenter at http://www.wbur.org/2010/05/01/water-main-break/comment-page-1#comment-10827 http://www.wbur.org/2010/05/01/water-main-break/comment-page... says Cambridge gets its water from Fresh Pond.

- Symmetry 16y agoYeah, according to people around MIT talking on zephyr we get our water from Fresh Pond.
- Anechoic 16y agoMIT is still using zephyr? I didn't think it would still be in use 15 years later.
- Symmetry 16y agoYeah, though people have made better user interfaces for it. The particular space between Twitter and IM that it sits in doesn't seem to have been colonized by anything better yet. EDIT: Though I'm sure there are people here who'd be happy to try :)
- eob 16y agoWho uses Zephyr? Professors and staff who've been there a long time? I'm a grad student in CSAIL and have never once seen it in use.
- _delirium 16y agoMy impression is that it's common mainly among undergrads. That also seems to be the case at CMU, though my knowledge is only second-hand in both cases.
- carbocation 16y agoAccording to an email from the Broad, there are interconnects between Boston and Cambridge and no water should be consumed without boiling.
- carbocation 16y agoGot an update from the Broad and they feel confident now that there is no crosstalk between Cambridge and Boston water supplies. Sorry for the false alarm!
- SapphireSun 16y agoOff topic, but I thought this was the most appropriate thread. I just got a place in Somerville (lucky me ;-)). Are there any cool events around where you can meet people and make friends?
- JayNeely 16y agoMeetup.com is great for this. I'd also recommend being active on twitter; plenty of events spread through there. Use http://search.twitter.com http://search.twitter.com if you need a starting point. Check out http://greenhornconnect.com/ http://greenhornconnect.com/ 's events section for startup-related stuff.
- SapphireSun 16y agoCool! Thanks for the links!
- pingswept 16y agoOpen shop night at Sprout community science lab in Davis Square, Tuesday and Thursday nights. Also, google Willoughby and Baltic.
- tibbon 16y agoTotally OT, but Willoughby and Baltic seems dead to me. I live a block from there and I just go to Sprout. Its generally free, great people and a really friendly environment.
