A boil-water alert Flint officials issued Tuesday remains in effect at least until bacteria testing is completed Thursday afternoon, the city said. 
 
 “A decision on whether to suspend the boil-water notice will be made once the results are in,” officials said in an update Wednesday. 
 
 The boil-water advisory was issued after a large water transmission line adjacent to Dort Highway broke Tuesday, which led to a water main break on Dupont, city officials said. 
 
 The break has since been contained, utilities administrator Michael Glasgow said in a statement Wednesday. 
 
 “The leak was completely isolated last night. Water pressures should be back at normal operating levels across the city,” he said. “Crews are still assessing the damage and starting on the actual repair of the affected water main.” 
 
 The area affected included a large swath between Clio and North Center roads. 
 
 As a precaution, city officials are warning residents to boil all filtered water for one minute then let it cool before using. Residents not using a filter are asked to flush the water for at least seven minutes before collecting to boil. 
 
 Air and loose sediment may be trapped in the water lines, but residents are urged to not flush their system through filters since that could affect performance, according to the advisory. 
 
 Flint’s lead-contamination problems trace to the city’s switch to Flint River water in April 2014 for its source of drinking water and the state’s failure to require corrosive controls. The state acknowledged the problem in October.

 Already using filters on their faucets to make their toxic water clean, they'll now have to boil it, too. 
 
 Flint is under a boil-water advisory after a Tuesday water main break. Water pressure fell, and that may have allowed bacterial contaminants to enter the system. 
 
 "Bacteria are generally not harmful and are common throughout our environment," a statement from the city said 
 
 The advisory is being called a precaution and will be lifted once water sampling shows the water is safe to drink. 
 
 More money 
 
 The latest setback came as the mayor said she needs $55 million to remove lead pipes in the city. Karen Weaver is asking Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder to partner with her to get the funds. 
 
 "In order for Flint residents to once again have confidence and trust in the water coming from their faucets, all lead pipes in the city of Flint need to be replaced," she said. 
 
 A spokesman for the governor said the office was reviewing Weaver's proposal. 
 
 "Gov. Snyder is including money in his budget request on Wednesday to address Flint water infrastructure," said Dave Murray. "That figure could be a starting point, but we won't know for sure until we are able to study the pipes that are in place now and know better what needs to be replaced and how quickly." 
 
 Deputy press secretary Anna Heaton said the governor has asked the Legislature for an additional $195 million for the crisis. It's part of the budget plan for the 2016-2017 fiscal year presented to the Legislature on Wednesday. 
 
 The $195 million consists of $37 million for water and water infrastructure, $15 million for food and nutrition, $63 million for health and well-being, $30 million for water bill credits and a $50 million reserve fund, Snyder said. 
 
 Officials say $37 million already has been approved. 
 
 Rusting away

 The people and water pipes of the city weren't the only casualties of the corrosive Flint River water. 
 
 Damage is showing up in the city's fire equipment. 
 
 One pump has already been replaced because of severe rust. An invoice shows $65,000 in needed repairs. 
 
 The fleet's newest fire truck is also showing signs of premature damage and wear. 
 
 "We actually called the manufacturers of three of our fire trucks, and they gave us some ideas of how to combat that a little bit, but what's done is done and we're hoping it doesn't get to a point where we have to replace pumps," Fire Chief David Cox Jr. told CNN affiliate WJRT 
 
 Otherwise, things will really get expensive. 
 
 "That's a brand-new $462,000 pump that we're talking about," said Cox. 
 
 And one more thing to worry about. 
 
 The Flint Fire Department is worried the water could be corroding the fire suppression systems around the city too, the affiliate reported. Sprinkler installation companies are being told to inspect systems installed in homes and businesses. ||||| If you can read this, either the style sheet didn't load or you have an older browser that doesn't support style sheets.

– Boil-water advisories aren't all that uncommon, but this one might have Flint residents feeling like they're the butt of a cosmic joke: A water main break has prompted the city to warn people to boil their water before drinking it. As CNN notes, this mostly applies to those using city water through filters installed on their taps in the wake of the lead crisis. But "residents not using a filter are asked to flush the water for at least seven minutes before collecting to boil," adds the Detroit News. The break resulted in a drop in water pressure that may have allowed bacteria into the system. As a headline at Fark succinctly puts it, "residents are being told to boil the water before they not drink it." (The mayor is promising that new pipes are in the works.)
