Yellow water, are you drinking it? See, a town in Oklahoma needs huge repairs because their water is yellow and cloudy. The city doesn’t have the money to make the repairs. A news team went to the city, and an overzealous reporter made a point to be “one with the people” and took a big swig of the water. He kept a pretty straight face, but I thought he was trying a little too hard. It happens to be the for the last place news station (FOX for those in America), and the poor guy seems to be going for a bigger network. Anyway, maybe back in my twenties I would have had the all for one attitude, but not at forty-five. And, if you’re wondering, boiling the water doesn’t make it less cloudy or less yellow. And yeah, they can’t keep bottled water on the grocery store shelves.

Ew. Have they said why the water's that color? What needs repairs?

I guess the infrastructure? The pipes or well? I wish I remembered what he said, but I think they mentioned crumbling infrastructure. There’s no lead, which would be worse, but it’s still gross.
