The filters are at the water treatment plant. Cambridge needed to change the filters as part of regular maintenance but due to Covid related shortages they could not get the replacements for months and had to switch over to MWRA water supply until the new filters arrived. New filters installed means they have switched back to Cambridge's own water supply.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Didn't know dentists really worry about our dental costs by scwelch
People with insurance that doesn't pay well don't get all the dental work done that they need, they just get the bare minimum. The more the insurance pays, the more work people will get done which means more money for the dentist.

The default for larger streets/main arteries is 25 if there are no signs saying otherwise. It's 20 everywhere else.

You should always look both ways. Even cars go the wrong way down one-way streets sometimes.

Reply to Library users—if I place a hold on a title that my local branch doesn’t have, will it be delivered to my local branch for me? by secretsofthedivine
If someone places a hold they have 7 days to pick it up before they pass on to the next person in line. Also, they will not renew for items that have any hold requests, to minimize the time you need to wait.

Reply to Water st. Downtown Boston. Were the sidewalks built this sloped intentionally or did they extensively settle? by echocomplex
Sloped sidewalks was one of the things I noticed a lot when I first moved to the Back Bay many years ago. It makes walking on ice even trickier, although I suspect it's meant to help with drainage.

There's construction somewhere near Waverly/Albany Street. They had been pile driving for months. It echoes.

These aren't even childless people with fertility issues who couldn't have their own children. They actually already had 4 kids without any scientific intervention.
Funny how their god doesn't seem to want them to adopt any of the many already born children who need families though.
