Letter: Keeping up with boil water advisories Bryan New writes: How does one keep up with the constant boil water advisories that seem to come out more often than the weather changing?The easy answer is to read Columbia Magazine, because we post them as quickly as we hear about them! However, we've been trying to find out whether there really is an increase in advisories, and the data remains unconclusive. In the days before the internet, advisories were often only noticed by those directly affected, who were contacted with an old-fashioned paper flyer on their front door. These days, you hear about all the advisories that are issued, whether they affect you or not, which could be leading to a base rate fallacy. 2025-08-05 14:47:59 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
