Probably a good idea, if not a reason to clean the tub.  

Last week, in the greater Asheville area, we lost town water when the 17 
inches of rain undermined several mains.  It only took a couple days to repair, 
but according to the authorities it's still not safe to drink without boiling.  

Thought for a second I was constipated until the water started flowing again.
